The conferences had a cross border
character with the participation of
young academics, researchers, professors, PhD
students, particularly (but not limited to) from the
institutions of the network, having as fundament
the results and studies achieved during the three-
year lifespan of the project. The conferences had a
strong academic interdisciplinary character by

Events.
ENACTED events provided 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
Iasi, Romania; 2021
Minsk, Belarus)
The International Forums were 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 had 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.

Study visits for
young academics in
European Studies.
The research visits for
young academics (staff
members) in European Studies was 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 was 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.
RESULTS: 7 study visits
