The second agreement formalizes UWED’s participation in the international consortium of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s programme “Central and East European, Russian and Eurasian Studies” (CEERES).

Participants shared their academic achievements, discussed the results of their recent research projects, and reflected on their experiences studying and conducting research in an international academic environment.
