Enri-East final open conference, Brussels, Belgium
26 September 2011 - 26 September 2011
Belgium
The final conference of the EU-funded 'Interplay of European, national and regional identities: nations between states along the new eastern borders of the European Union' (Enri-East) project will take place on 26 September 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.
The event will address four main research themes of the project, presenting findings and practical recommendations on the following topics:
- self-organisation and socio-political representation of ethnic minorities along the east European borderland;
- historical paths, collective memories, present status and expected social dynamics of split nations in eastern Europe;
- interplay of identities and cultures;
- nations between the states - spotlight on the Baltic region and the special case of Germany.
The Enri-East project has been studying socio-ethnic identities along Europe's eastern border. It uses not only theoretical, methodological and empirical components, but also methods and approaches from a variety of social sciences. Geographically, the project has covered areas conventionally labelled as the Baltic region, eastern Europe, central Europe and the Carpathian basin. More than 12 ethnic minorities in 9 EU and neighbouring countries have been covered by a network of eleven teams.For further information, please visit: link(opens in new window)
