Dear Colleagues,



I am writing to you on behalf of the Center for Russian and East European
Studies (REES), the European Studies Center/European Union Center of
Excellence (ESC/EUCE), and the International Business Center (IBC) at the
University of Pittsburgh. We hope that you can help our centers promote an
opportunity for your students to present their research.



On Friday, April 1, 2016, we will be sponsoring the annual “Europe: East
and West” Undergraduate Research Symposium at Pitt. Modeled after
traditional academic conferences, this event will give students the
opportunity to present their research papers on Western and Eastern Europe,
including Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, to
discussants and an audience. Please encourage your outstanding
undergraduate students to apply to participate in the Symposium. Limited
travel grants are available to help defray travel expenses to Pittsburgh
for accepted participants. The application form and further information can
be found at http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/ursymposium/.



Deadlines:

1) Students must submit applications with 250-300 word abstracts and paper
drafts by January 19, 2016.

2) Selected students will be notified by February 2016.

3) Final revised papers are due by March 16, 2016.

4) Presentations will be made at the Symposium on April 1, 2016.



If you have any questions, please contact me at *[email protected]
