Potential participants are required to submit a 250-word abstract addressing the political or economic aspects of the war, the public reaction or opinion of the participant′s home country, as well as the impact on the economic sector, the political situation, and the perceptions of the European Union.
Abstracts can be sent to summerschool@uwr.edu.pl. The deadline for submitting the abstracts has been extended until 7 April 2023. Only 2 candidates from each partner institution might be accepted.
The program covers all expenditures associated with travelling to and staying in the conference location, including meals and accommodation.
This Summer School is part of an initiative of the Polish Ministry of Education and Science and the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) to subsidise activities with partner universities from Ukraine that are complementary and synergistic to those planned within the framework of Arqus.
