Project description
Bridging gaps in global area studies
Area studies often struggle with fragmented approaches, making it difficult to fully understand critical global and regional issues. Non-European regions and eastern Europe face rapid changes, yet research often lacks a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective. This limits the ability to inform public debates, support decision-making and address societal challenges. Institutions in Widening countries also face gaps in funding and research excellence compared to leading global centres. In this context, the EU-funded ERA-AREAS project aims to solve these issues by creating the Centre for Multidisciplinary Area Studies, or CEMAS, at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University (CUFA) in Prague. The project brings together top researchers to study critical trends. It strengthens CUFA’s global role, fosters collaboration and ensures lasting research excellence.
Objective
The proposed project, ERA-AREAS, establishes the Center for Multidisciplinary Area Studies (CEMAS) at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, Prague (CUFA), under the leadership of an outstanding academic, Prof. Mariana Llanos. ERA-AREAS will assemble an excellent multidisciplinary and international research group analyzing the causes and consequences of critical contemporary developments in non-European global regions and Eastern Europe. The project fosters international collaboration and enhances CUFA's research landscape as one of the leading institutions for social science and humanities research in the Widening countries. Prof. Llanos' extensive experience and network will attract top-tier researchers, invigorating area studies and fostering excellent international research. Building on multidisciplinarity and a methodologically innovative comparative framework, it aims to integrate the disjointed social-scientific and linguistic-cultural approaches to area studies in terms of both organization and research. CUFA's global appeal will be amplified through institutional reforms, expanded training opportunities, and robust networking initiatives. ERA-AREAS aligns with EU and national strategies, enhancing CUFA's ability to analyze global trends, fortify societal resilience against security challenges, inform public debates on non-European contemporary critical developments through expert knowledge, and provide policy-relevant research results for key stakeholders involved in decision-making about responses to critical developments around the world. Leveraging untapped funding potential by strengthening CUFAs project management and administration, the project ensures CEMAS's sustainability, bolstering CEMAS impact beyond the project's duration. ERA-AREAS will spur the transmission of best organizational and research practices from established area studies research institutions to the Widening countries reducing the apparent gap in research excellence.
