EURINT 2018 international conference | Reflecting on Europe’s (dis)order: scenarios for the EU’s future

May 18-19, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania


What can you expect?
The Centre for European Studies within Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi organizes the seventh EURINT edition, May 18-19, 2018. The event is part of the EURINT conference series which was successfully launched in 2013 in the frame of the Jean Monnet Life Long Learning Programme. Since 2013, the EURINT conference series has established itself as a visible academic event in the field of European Studies and in this regard we aim at developing it into a traditional conference series.

What about the topic?
During the last year, the European Union has faced unprecedented challenges (Brexit, the rise of populism, the devaluation of EU-USA relations) which have represented both a test and an alarm sign for future threats. These challenges have shifted the ordinary political and economic paradigms and have created a new state of affairs for the EU, as well as for its partners. Therefore, new policies are required to help address the urgent economic, political and social challenges. Current strategies are being questioned while new perspectives of the European and global economy are emerging.

Who will take part in our academic event?
During the two-day conference, an exciting academic programme, featuring renowned international experts and keynote lectures, will be offered to our participants: PhD candidates, post-doc fellows, researchers, civil society activists, NGO representatives, consultants, policy advocates and many more.

What kind of opportunities does this conference offer?
EURINT 2018 will share the latest academic research results, excellent networking opportunities, possibilities to create links for future academic cooperation (preparing potential research projects, establishing common publishing goals etc.). Moreover, a limited number of international participants could benefit from financial support.

What about social events?
The conference will be held at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, the oldest institution of higher education in Romania. EURINT 2018 will be a pleasant and useful experience both for its academic quality and for informal social networking. You are warmly welcome to explore the historical centre of Iasi, its intense cultural life and events, and to enjoy the beautiful May weather.
