Our Mission: CRN investigates among other things: 1. The changing significance of national borders within the context of European integration and global change 2. Post-Social transformation and its implications for urban and regional development in Central and Eastern Europe 3. The emerging geopolitics of the European Union 4. Cultural dimensions of urban change 5. Intercultural dialogue and the need of intercultural competences in a globalized world Our philosophy: CRN believes in the power of context-sensitive research and is open to different theoretical and methodological approaches that promote meaningful comparative work. CRN also supports artistic endeavour that forges links between ‘science’, social issues and society.
The main actions are currently the Grundtvig In-Training series "European Intercultural Stimulation - becoming a diplomat between the cultures" organised by the CRN itself, involving at the moment 20 different partner from all over Europe. Secondly CRN is organising together with the city of Szczecin and the Euroregion Pomerania a course series on "intercultural competences in border regions". Most members of the CRN are actively involved in variouse FP7 and Marie-Curie programms of the European Union, concerning research projects in border regions - including the Euromediterranean.
CRN can contribute with its knowledge and manpower to work on social media projects and in the field of intercultural trainings.
CRN want to contribute its knowledge on intercultural dialogue, use of social media and border regions to the network. Furtheron the CRN wants to initiate programms together with its partners in the Euromed, using the ALF Network as a multiplier and a source to find and cooperate with further partners.
