EU Enlargement and Democratic Consolidation in Central and Eastern Europe

In 2010, we were awarded a three-year grant under the Jean Monnet Programme to support teaching on EU Enlargement and Democratic Consolidation in Central and Eastern Europe at MA level.

This support allows us to both:

• extend our teaching in the area
• support our teaching with research activities

Teaching

The major activity of the project has been the introduction of two new modules during the academic year 2010-2011:

• EU Enlargement and Democratic Consolidation in Post-Communist Europe (for campus-based MA students) PL7087 and
• EU Enlargement and Democratic Consolidation in Post-Communist Europe (for distance learning students) PL7587

From the 2011-2012 academic year, PL7587 will be available to distance learning students in both September and January.

Upcoming events

• Research seminars on 'The new EU member states and the ENP', starting 12 October 2011
• One-week postgraduate workshop  ‘Researching European Integration’ 24-30 June 2012
• 'Europe Day' programme  of lectures and activities 27 June 2012
• Distance learning workshop  21 April 2012

Conferences, workshops and seminars 2010-2011

A number of research seminars, conferences  and events  were conducted as part of the programme during 2010-2011, including the Jean Monnet Weekend on 18 and 19 June 2011.
