The Centre for European Studies within Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi organizes the eighth EURINT edition, May 17-18, 2019. 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.

Today’s global context brings about various insidious effects that weight heavily on EU’s security and stability. As such, over the last decade EU has been confronted with multiple challenges ( economic crisis, migrants’ crisis, Ukraine crisis, etc) that have become a key driver of uncertainty and have determined the European decision-makers to take very seriously the means and ways to boost EU’s resilience when designing policies and strategies. Additionally, should we consider the neorealists’ warnings about the shaking liberal world order, it becomes more imperative than ever for Europe to be prepared to face the future and find a way forward on its own. Within this context, the EURINT Conferences Series aims to foster and provide a proper context for mutual dialogue, joint knowledge and a better understanding of the challenges the EU faces in the current global context marred unprecedented shocks and challenges.

UThe two-day event (May 17-18, 2019) aims to transmit knowledge about EU’s opportunities and risks in today’s increasingly volatile global context and to draw together scholars, popular experts, civil society activists and decision-makers to encourage an exchange of views.

Deadline: March 31, 2019, online registration and submission of extended abstracts
