Events.
ENACTED events will provide a great opportunity for the network members to meet and share both their research results and also debate ways of cooperating beyond the project’s lifespan.
International Forums “University in society” (2018 Forum in Iasi,
Romania; 2019 Forum in Minsk,Belarus)
The International Forums are specifically designed to bring together particularly the societal actors in the border regions who are interested in issues related to the Eastern border of the EU. The two events will be jointly organised by the NGO partners from the network in order to generate a greater appeal among the wider public. Apart from fostering a favourable environment for debates and problem-solving type of discussions, it also enhances cooperation and dialogue between specialists in the academic field and civil society representatives from the border area. The international forum will be organised within the frame of the EURINT conference series and will address the academia, NGO and civil society representatives whose interests revolve around the thematic topics of the project, organised parallel sessions of roundtables on three more specific directions: 1. Rethinking ENP and EaP – best way forward? 2. Cross-Border Cooperation at EU’s eastern borderlands 3. Increasing societal participation in the EaP countries RESULTS: International Forum - University in society: Cross-border cooperation and regional development (18-19 May 2018, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi) COORDINATORS: Victor Pravdivets (P10), Bogdan Ibanescu (P1)
Summer school for young academics “Explaining the EU’s actorness
and its role in the eastern neighbourhood of the EU” (2018 edition in
Oradea, Romania; 2019 edition in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova).
The summer school, part of the same package of activities oriented towards teaching and research, is aimed first at offering an in-depth analysis of the EU’s external role and its impact over the wider eastern neighbourhood area in an altered context marked by the Ukrainian crisis and the existing tensions with Russia. The summer school will provide a multinational platform for exchange of ideas and debates between young academics (PhD students, young researchers who have recently completed their doctoral studies) and invited lecturers from the network who will provide different perspectives on various thematic areas covered by the school. The summer school will have two editions: first edition organized in Oradea, Romania (2018) and the second edition organized in Chisinau, Moldova (2019). The summer school will have a duration of 7 days and will include lectures follow by in-depth workshops, a cultural evening and a ‘get-to-know each other’ sightseeing tour. The lectures will cover a wide range of interdisciplinary topics (please consider a tentative programme below), while the follow-up workshops will focus on presentations, case studies research and teamwork.

Joint Roundtables on “University in society. Development and
integration at EU’s borderlines by dialog and knowledge exchange” .
The joint roundtables aim at ‘outsourcing’ the main results of the project to the stakeholders who are not necessarily involved in the academic field: policy-makers, civil society activists, professionals and develop a favourable context for a tripartite debate university-policymakers-society on specific issues in EU Eastern borderlines to find jointly best practices and solutions. The meetings will address specific topics on ENP and CBC as resulted from research and exchange knowledge within the network. To stimulate the interest of the target groups in playing an active role in the debate, we will initiate an awareness campaign including documents which will synthetize the key result of the research The topics are organised in the following way: 1. First year: Enhancing EU actorness in EaP 2. Second year: Working on solutions to improve the efficiency of the neighbouring instruments: CBC, ENI, etc. 3. Third year: Consolidating the academic-civil society-policy-making triangle RESULTS: COORDINATORS: Dobrzhanska Oksana (P9)

Study visits for young academics in European Studies.
The research visits for young academics (staff members) in European Studies are aimed at promoting academic exchange and the transfer of knowledge between the institutions from the network. Besides broadening the experience and skills of the participants in such exchange programmes, the research visits are also aimed at enhancing the career prospects of participants and facilitate intercultural understanding through cooperation. The objective of this action is to ensure the necessary framework for academic mobility of young academics. The design of the research visits is premised on the idea of gaining valuable academic and professional experience through short term scholarships which allow them to undertake research at one of the partner universities.
