TO BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE GRANT CYCLE: The EU Center of Excellence at the University of Texas will use a variety of activities to cover the main themes of Trans-National Policy Challenges and Opportunities. In doing so, the Center will continuously seek to fulfill its main mission of involving the university student, faculty, and researcher community in outreach efforts to the wider community of policy makers, stake holders, diplomats, business people, local institutions of higher education, and educational professionals.
The Center will organize conferences, lectures, and workshops, sponsor visiting EU scholars, facilitate student exchanges and research projects, support curriculum development on European themes, and disseminate educational and informative publications. We also will involve the local media in all our events, especially those that go beyond the involvement of the academic community. Below is a brief overview of each activity divided into seven sections: (1) conferences; (2) lecture series; (3) workshops, outreach to K-12 and institutions of higher learning, and the EU Visit Program; (4) visiting EU scholars; (5) student exchanges, graduate student research projects, and faculty research funding; (6) curriculum development on European and EU themes; and (7) dissemination of information.
