The European Union is currently facing many challenges that affect its citizens, institutions and policy-making capability. This conference wishes to highlight graduate student research that addresses some of these broad challenges. The Organizing Committee of the 4th Annual Graduate Student Conference on the European Union welcomes papers addressing the theme of the conference. We seek submissions from all disciplines on topics including, but not limited to, European Union politics, economics, governance, security and institutions; and policies including enlargement, immigration, development, trade, transatlantic relations and foreign policy more generally.
Deadline for Abstract Submission: December 1, 2008
Abstracts should be 250-300 words in length and will be accepted only via email as a Word document or PDF attachment; please include a current CV with your submission. Only authors enrolled in a degree granting graduate or professional program are eligible to participate.
The University of Pittsburgh’s Hillman Library now houses the largest and most complete archive of primary and secondary source documents on the European Union in the Western hemisphere, dating back to the beginnings of the ECSC. The EU Delegation Collection is a gift from the European Commission Delegation in Washington, DC. Conference presenters will be given a special opportunity to access the archive for their own research purposes.
Please submit abstracts and any inquiries to: EUconf@pitt.edu.
