Grant Recipients of the GCE Research Dissemination Program

In 2021 the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe (GCE-HSG) initiated the research dissemination grant program "Borderland Studies in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea Region." The scheme provides funding to support the sharing of academic findings to a broader public.
