Call for Applications Center for European Studies Internship Programme 2018

The application for the Spring Center for European Studies Internship will be open from January 17, 2018 to January 31, 2018. CES Internship offers highly motivated and successful individuals an opportunity to improve their skills while working in a diverse environment. Epoka University Center for European Studies (CES) is a multidisciplinary research program having as its main scope the improvement of the understanding of Global Issues and Interdisciplinary studies. CES is founded on Epoka University’s regional-renowned teaching reputation and research excellence. The Center seeks to encourage projects across disciplines that increase an understanding of the diversity of the societies and cultures that constitute Europe. It examines how traditional divisions within Europe such as the ones between North/South and West/East influence the present membership in the European Union and its future expansion and global positioning as well as how they exclude and will continue to exclude many countries and their peoples from European “space.” Referring to our research orientation, CES is currently focused on five main research areas titled as: “EU enlargement and integration”, “Save the Planet: EU Strategy for Environmental Protection” “The European Union and Democracy Assistance”, “European Economic Integration: Politics and Policy”, “Peace and Well Being in the Western Balkans: Peace and Well Being in Europe”. CES is undertaking many activities and events for this year and the upcoming year as well which you can kindly check on our official website: www.ces.epoka.edu.al
