What is Graduate Forum?

The UACES Graduate Forum is an active network of postgraduate and early-career researchers in contemporary European Studies. It provides important opportunities for development, sharing ideas and networking.

What we do?

We provide useful resources, events and funding opportunities to build networks between those from different universities, countries and academic disciplines, and to help advance research in European Studies.

Who can join?

If your research is in European Studies or a related discipline (e.g. Political Science, IR, History, Law, Economics, Sociology, Geography, Public Policy, Modern Languages, Anthropology), the Graduate Forum is for you.
