CEEPUS NETWORK: Border and Regional Studies (PL-1604-03-2324)

On October 1st, 2023 our consortium starts with the new academic project Border and Regional Studies that will be implemented in the academic year 2023/24 (PL-1604-03-2324)!
The Border and Regional Studies Network was established within the Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies (CEEPUS). The network is comprised of 17 universities located in 10 countries of Central Europe and Balkans. It joins partners whose research and educational interests are focused on border and regional issues. The network’s thematic framework will address some of the crucial problems and challenges of the XXI century, especially migrations, multi-ethnic societies, revitalization of regional identities, border crossing and border revitalization, quality of governance at the local and regional level.

ERASMUS +

The Faculty of European Studies has been conducting projects funded by the European Union since its establishment. Among the most recent endeavours that our students have benefitted from, in areas covering the convergence between education and active life, cooperation with the business and public environment, academic networking and curriculum development, one should note:

* DYCLAM+is an original European university training programme under the ERASMUS+ label (2019-2024), offering academic education at Jean Monnet University of Saint-Etienne (France, 1st semester), Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (Portugal, 2nd semester), Babeș-Bolyai University (Romania, 3rd semester) and University of Naples Federico II (Italy, 4th semester and delocalized courses) and at numerous other partner universities. The project is implemented within our Cultural Diplomacy and International Relations Master’s Programme and enables students to apply for a quadruple-degree course with a focus on the European and global patrimony. It is sponsored by the European Commission.

* The Erasmus Mundus MITRA programme was launched in 2012 and is called “intercultural mediation: identities, mobilities and conflicts”. It intends to respond to the rising social challenges besetting the European societies which have been particularly affected by the “migratory crisis” and its consequences. This crisis has exacerbated political tensions at both national and international levels due to diverging approaches to migration issues. This challenge, a by-product of globalisation processes cutting across European borders, reveals deep-rooted, underlying tensions in today’s societies. MITRA teaching staff have acknowledged this changing context and allowed for more focus on migration to be brought into this project. The MITRA Master’s programme is an Erasmus Joint Master Degree (EJMD), co-funded by the European Agency (EACEA), since 2012 (2012-2018) and again since 2019 (2019-2024).

* The “LISBOAN” Project, part of the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme (2010-2013), in collaboration with the University of Cologne.
