The project is entitled “Europe’s Geopolitical Future: Mapping Perspectives on EU policy in its Eastern Neighborhood”. It will run for 18 months and will comprise research and two workshops at the Russian-Armenian University and the University of Zurich.
The call was designed to provide seed funding for projects between academic actors in Switzerland and the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
