Kent colleagues and doctoral students are invited to submit a paper, panel or roundtable proposal for the Second Annual Tartu Conference on Russian and East European Studies, taking place in Tartu, Estonia, from 4 – 6 June 2017.

The deadline for proposals is 20 February, 2017. The Programme Committee welcomes proposals addressing the conference theme (the Russian revolution and its legacies) as well as any other issues relevant to the development of Russia, the rest of the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe from any disciplinary angle. Paper, panel or roundtable proposals can be submitted here.

The Tartu Conference is a convention-type event that is organised each year around a particular theme, while also serving as a venue for a broad academic discussion of the fundamental cultural, social, economic and political trends affecting all aspects of people’s life in Russia and Eastern Europe. It is organised jointly by the Centre for EU-Russia Studies at the University of Tartu, the Global Europe Centre at the University of Kent, and the Uppsala Centre for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University. The conference will be supported by the European Commission under a Horizon 2020 Twinning project entitled “Building Research Excellence in Russian and East European Studies at the Universities of Tartu, Uppsala and Kent” (UPTAKE).

Please share this information with PhD students within your School.
We look forward to seeing you in Tartu in June!
