Kent’s international partner in the GCRF COMPASS Project, ADA University (Azerbajan) has organised a high-profile talk on ‘Brexit: What’s happened and does what does the future hold’ by Professor Anand Menon.  The lecture is taking place online at 12.30 – 13.30 on Thursday 22 April and is open to all academic staff and researchers.  For access to the online lecture please contact ceeus@ada.edu.az

The COMPASS project works with partners in Cambridge, Belarusian State University (BSU), Tajik National University (TNU) and the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) in Uzbekistan to connect research, policy and people globally.  The COMPASS project seeks to establish ‘regional hubs of excellence’ at the top-level HEIs in Eastern Neighbourhood and Central Asia to enable them to become our lead research partners and ‘nodes of excellence’ for knowledge production and transfer across the region and beyond.

See the COMPASS website for more information about the project and its partners.
