The Savaria International Summer University provides a transnational- European public space where students, academics, writers, activists, diplomats and politicians from numerous countries and regions can come together and freely discuss, debate and deliberate issues of common concern from divided societies to networked societies, from the consumer civilization to a new European civilization. This year’s title is “Europe’s New Neighborhoods: Enlargement and Beyond”. We plan to devote special attention to the promises and challenges of reinvigorated regional cooperation in Europe, especially in the Visegrad-4, the Balkans and Turkey. These discussions will of course be placed in a global context of living and working together in an increasingly diverse and divided European and global space.
At the same time, because it is the 475th anniversary of the Siege of Kőszeg by the Ottomons and Ibrahim Pasha, special programs, both cultural and academic, will be related to the important historic relations between Europe and the Ottomans and the future and importance of EU-Turkey relations.
The XIIth SISU will address the following topics: Possibilities and Challenges for a better V-4 Cooperation: The Future of V-4 Cooperation; Re-Inventing Central Europe: New Ways to Build Identity; The Role of the V-4 Role in Democratization of Former CIS Societies; European Citizenship From the Balkans to the Baltics: Amber Road Reconstruction; Understanding New Interdependence: Challenges of Reconciliation; The Future of EU-Turkey Relations: The EU’s Neighborhood Policy; New European Civilization; Concrete Forms of Cooperation in South East and East Central Europe: Cultural Aspects of a New Neigborhood Policy; Islam and Christianity: Is Diversity Managable?; 475 Years Later: The Ibrahim-Jurisich Syndrome.
Besides presentations and seminars, students will work in groups to create recommendations and proposals which will be published by ISES.
ISES will issue ECTS credits for completing the Summer University upon fulfillment of the requirements of a presentation and paper and payment of per credit fee. A certificate will be awarded only to those who participate in the full course of the program.
There will be a wide selection of cultural programs during the SISU as well. For more information please visit our webpages: www.ises.hu and www.european- studies.hu.
