Welcome to the website of the ENRI-East project!

ENRI-East is an international research effort undertaken by a network of eleven teams embracing more than 50 scientists from ten EU and CIS countries. We work closely together to acquire new knowledge and achieve a deeper understanding of the interplay of European, national and regional identities evolving along the new eastern borders of the European Union.
