2009 Regional Policy Symposium Grants (Prospects and Challenges for the First Post-Communist Generation: Young People Today in Eurasia and Eastern Europe)

[Nina Shevchuk]

I'm sure many of you are already aware of this, but it seems like an important event to promote:


PROGRAM ACTIVITY
2009 Regional Symposium Grants 
Prospects and Challenges for the 
First Post-Communist Generation: Young People Today in Eurasia and Eastern 
Europe 
In Spring 2009, IREX, in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson International 
Center for Scholars’ Kennan Institute and East European Studies Program (WWC), 
will be administering its ninth annual research Symposium that will examine 
issues concerning youth in Eastern Europe and Eurasia from political, 
historical, economic, and demographic perspectives. The symposium will bring 
junior and senior scholars and members of the policy community together to study 
and discuss timely topics, including economic trends, political parties, 
education reform, public health, reproductive trends, and trafficking and other 
cross-border criminal activity. 
Junior scholars will be chosen based on a national competition to present 
their current research on the topic of the Symposium. Grants will be awarded to 
approximately ten junior scholars. The Regional Symposium is scheduled to take 
place in April 2009 in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and will involve two 
full days of reviews of current research projects, roundtable discussions, and 
the development of policy recommendations.
