The event consisted of a key note lecture and a full-day workshop. The key note lecture was delivered by Professor Richard Youngs (Carnegie Europe and University of Warwick), who provided a fascinating insight into the development of relations between the EU and Eastern Partnership countries since the crisis in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The main part of the event was an interdisciplinary workshop on the following day, and included ten doctoral students and established scholars from across the UK and wider Europe. The presentations focused on the mutual perceptions and influences upon identity, and wider interaction between the European Union and the Eastern Partnership, including: mobility and people-to-people contact, negotiations, the role of formal education, the \u2018marketisation\u2019 of images of Europe, and the networked approach to reform implementation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5714.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-275 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5714-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5714\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5714-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5714-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5721.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-276 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5721-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5721\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5721-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5721-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5735.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-277 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5735-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5735\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5735-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5735-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5736.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-278 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5736-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5736\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5736-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_5736-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 19th and 20th of February 2015, the Global Europe Centre at the University of Kent organised a workshop titled \u2018Testing the boundaries of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/2015\/03\/11\/eu-actorness-in-the-eastern-partnership-workshop-19-20-february-2015\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37326,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[131001],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37326"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions\/280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/polir-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
