UniGR-Center for Border Studies Launch Conference 

The University of Luxembourg and the University of the Greater Region (UniGR) will launch the Interreg VA Greater Region project “UniGR-Center for Border Studies” (UniGR-CBS) on Wednesday 24 October 2018 from 13:00 - 17:00 with a kick-off conference at the Maison du Savoir in Esch-Belval. 

Close to eighty researchers from four countries are involved in the project, whose purpose is to develop cross-border academic education and research on borders in the Greater region, as well as to foster exchange with civil society and political actors.

The event will be hosted by:

- Pierre Mutzenhardt (president of the University of the Greater Region),
- Karl-Heinz Lambertz (president of the European Committee of the Regions),
- Christian Wille (scientific coordinator of the UniGR-CBS project, University of Luxembourg),
