Advancing Trans-Regional Border Studies

Project description

Advanced border studies in Tallinn

Tallinn University (TLU) has great experience in advancing a trans-regional approach to understanding important social, political, and environmental issues across borders. The university now needs to boost its scientific excellence, increase its institutional capacity in research, and improve access to new research synergies. The EU-funded Eur-Asian Border Lab project will connect TLU with the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to design the Eur-Asian Border Lab. The lab will become a platform catalysing trans-regional conversations and synergies between Euro-American and Asian border scholars. The project will investigate bordering across increasingly volumetric and virtual spaces, cross-fertilise research findings and communicate them to practitioners, policymakers, and the public.

Objective

The project positions Tallinn University (TLU) to become a leading institutional and intellectual platform for scholarly exchange on border studies, in partnership with the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The uniquely designed Eur-Asian Border Lab, to be established and anchored at TLU, will become a platform that catalyses trans-regional conversations and synergies between the Euro-American and Asian border scholars, and addresses the contrast between bordering as an increasingly complicated conceptual process and the more straightforward policy-oriented approaches to borders. The Eur-Asian Border Lab through its online and offline activities will investigate bordering across the increasingly volumetric and virtual spaces, cross-fertilize research findings and reach out to practitioners, policymakers and the public. TLU’s vanguard position in advancing a trans-regional and multi-layered approach to understanding key social, political and environmental issues through bordering is expected to boost its scientific excellence, enhance its institutional capacity to administer research and improve access to new research collaborations. The partners, complementing each other in their strengths and research foci, will contribute key expertise and professional networks for knowledge mobilization, while engaging actively in the joint research activities, capacity building and attracting early career researchers.
