The kick-off meeting of the Jean Monet Centre of Excellence at the University of Opole
On October 22, 2025 the team of the Border and Regional Studies Institute, established at the University of Opole, got together for the kick-off meeting of the Jean Monet Centre of Excellence. The Centre, funded by the European Commission, will allow us to:
– develop policy recommendations for border regions;
– establish the Cross-Border Academy for high schools and Universities of 3rd Age;
– develop and conduct a series of workshops for local authorities, non-governmental organizations, and public institutions;
– offer exciting research internships for BARI members and host the best researchers working on cross-border issues at our university;
– organize conferences and participate in major events devoted to border and regional studies;
– modify the study programme and organize international student camps
and builds relationships and trust between people.
We are all pleased that the grant will give us further opportunities to develop and promote border studies, seek new partners for cooperation, and popularize the knowledge we have gathered outside the walls of the university.
