The EU-EaP Academy will bring together doctoral students and early-career scholars, who specialize in EU or EU-EaP-related topics. The aim of this joint initiative is to combine academic and practitioner expertise on how all six EaP countries cooperate with the European Union in different fields within the framework of the Eastern Partnership and other relevant multi- and bilateral initiatives.

Participants will receive the first-hand information about the relations of individual EaP countries with the EU, enhance both research and teaching excellence, reinforce skills related to their integration in academic and public life.
The EU-EaP Academy will combine a series of inspiring lectures with soft skills workshops, dynamic group activities, and individual presentations of research projects.
