Summer University Programmes 2024

This summer, we organised a rich programme of Summer Universities across 4 European countries in Tirana, Tbilisi, Bucharest and Prague.

The first Summer University in Tirana was held in partnership with the Faculty of History and Philology at the University of Tirana, and brought together 16 participants who delved deeper into the subject of Albania's pathway to the European Union. As well as classes, excursions to the Petrelë Castle and the city of Berat were organised.

Ten days later, the Black Sea Summer University took place in Tbilisi, Georgia in collaboration with the Georgian Institute of Politics. The students analysed the Shifting Politics of the Black Sea Region and enjoyed trips to the former capital Mtskheta and the Uplistsikhe caves.

At the end of July, the Summer University in Romania was organised together with Nicolae Titulescu University of Bucharest. Classes on the Consequences of Crises in the World were taught in French and the participants got to enjoy some of Romania's architectural highlights with visits to the impressive Palace of the Parliament and Bran Castle, home to Dracula.

Earlier this month, the final Summer University in Prague in cooperation with the Cevro Institute enabled our participants to learn more about the Role of Central and Eastern European Countries in the Russian Aggression against Ukraine. Guided visits of the Czech capital and the Prague Castle rounded off the week.
