University
American College Skopje is proud to organize the fourth annual academic research
conference on European integration
EUROPE
IN CRISIS: THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
29 May 2009, Skopje,
Macedonia
This inter-
and multi-disciplinary one-day conference seeks to explore the current global
crisis and its consequences for the future of European integration. The
underlying assumption is that such a crisis poses threats to existing
structures, values and achievements, but also opens opportunities for critical
reassessment and improved solutions to exigent problems. As the hosting academic
institution of this conference, we aim to emphasize and explore the contribution
that academia can make to catalyse an adequate response to the crisis.
