Led by Giuliana Laschi (University of Bologna), the ENLARGE project establishes new transnational connections between European academic centres and promotes dialogue among experts studying the key features of EU enlargement from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. To this end, the network will organise conferences, meetings, summer schools, workshops, and other significant research and cultural dissemination activities until September 2028. During these years, a variety of academic publications, surveys, policy papers and podcasts will be published.
