Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

The enlargement of the European Union in 2004 changed the shape of the EU
and the continent. External borders were moved, internal borders were
dissolved, old borders re-emerged, and new borders were established. It is
becoming clear that these processes are influenced not only by political and
economic factors, but to a large extent by cultural, historic and social
conditions as well. Analysis of all these fields can only lead to a better
understanding of Europe as a space characterised by complex processes of
establishing and transcending borders. Such analysis is therefore of
fundamental importance for shaping the continent for the future.

 

The German Association of East European Studies (DGO) in cooperation with
the International Council for Central and East European Studies (ICCEES)
would like to invite you to the first regional

 

ICCEES European Congress in Berlin, August 2-4, 2007

 

to be held under the motto

 

³Transcending Europe¹s Borders - The EU and Its Neighbours².

 

The ICCEES regional Congress is being organised to underscore Germany¹s
presidency of the EU and to build on the success of the ICCEES VII World
Congress, which took place in Berlin in summer 2005.

 

The Congress is to serve as the prelude to a series of international
conferences which will be held every two or three years to address issues
concerning Europe¹s future from the perspective of all the relevant
disciplines. It aims to provide a forum for representatives from various
fields of study. The primary goal of the Congress is to promote
international interdisciplinary cooperation in researching European
integration as well as Europe and Eastern Europe.

 

For more information on the Congress and the call for papers, please consult
the enclosed flyer or visit the Congress Web site at www.iccees-europe.de.

 

Inquiries concerning registration formalities should be made to
info at iccees-europe.de. Please note that the deadline for panel and paper
proposals is December 1, 2006. Proposals may be sent in electronic form
only.

 

To ensure that as many interested scholars and experts as possible know
about the Congress, I would like to ask that you forward this information
and the enclosed flyer to your members, place it on your mailing list or
publish it on your Web site.

 

 

I thank you in advance for your contribution to the success of the regional
Congress.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Dr. Heike Dörrenbächer

Managing Director
