Regions in Recovery – Building Sustainable Futures – Global E-Festival

Venue: Online

Organiser: Regional Studies Association

Date: 2 -18 June 2021

It is a research-led celebration of thinking about our regions and cities in a time of great crisis and change. The word Festival illustrates that the event takes place over several weeks, accommodating the work of many researchers and policymakers along with an optional social and well-being programme. The collective goal is to bring together an inclusive community to share research thoughts and to network.

The Festival will address themes related to the re-emergence of regions and cities from the pandemic. It includes longer standing challenges to society of climate change, geopolitical manoeuvrings, the rise of populism, the financial implications of these shifts, migration crises, new challenges to the survival of pandemic struck firms and city centres and much more.

Join us at the open session ’Agents of change in old industrial regions of Europe’ organised by Nadir Kinossian, Ani Saunders and Markus Grillitsch!

„Globalising Eastern Europe – New Perspectives on Transregional Entanglements“ British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) Regional Conference

Venue: online
Date: 21– 24 April 2021

Organisers: BASEES, EEGA,

The British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) organises its second Regional Conference in cooperation with the Leibniz ScienceCampus “Eastern Europe – Global Area” (EEGA) in September 2020, in Leipzig, Germany. Under the theme “Globalising Eastern Europe – New Perspectives on Transregional Entanglements”, we seek to stimulate and discuss research on these border-crossing encounters in a comparative perspective. Aiming to stimulate a debate about interpretations across historical periods and geographical spaces, the conference brings together perspectives and case studies from a variety of disciplines. In thematic panels, round table discussions and interactive workshops dedicated to knowledge transfer and innovative science communication, about 100 international junior and senior scholars present their research on Eastern Europe, an area spanning from Poland in the West to Russia in the East, to the Balkans and the Caucasus in the South, in its global and transregional entanglements.

The event takes place online!

Join us at ’Reindustrialization and the agents of new centralities and peripheralities in non-metropolitan spaces of Central and Eastern Europe’ panel session organised by the ACORE team!
