Your congratulations to the UniGR-CBS
"Congratulations to UniGR-CBS for reaching 10 years of important and impactful work on border processes and cross-border dynamics. Borders are key lenses through which we can understand the present, and UniGR-CBS contributes to teaching, researching, and disseminating border studies. The Association for Borderland Studies joins you in the celebration of this great achievement!"
Anna Casaglia, President of the Association for Borderland Studies
“The 10th anniversary means taking stock of what has been achieved and looking to the future. My guest professorship at UniGR-CBS in 2021 proved that Luxembourg is an excellent place to explore borders. It gave me not only the opportunity to carry out my research and to make contacts that turned into research projects. The stay was also a source of theoretical and empirical inspiration for the further development of borderland studies. Congratulations and another 10 successful years!”
Elżbieta Opiłowska, Centre for Regional and Borderlands Studies (University of Wroclaw)
"Congratulations!
It is incredible to witness all the milestones achieved by the UniGR-CBS in these years, culminating now in its 10th anniversary. I'd like to express my deep gratitude to all members of the UniGR-CBS for all their work, dedication, and passion, and for offering such an exciting and thriving research community I am equally happy and proud to be a member of. Here's to many more years and activities to come! Let's celebrate an eventful past and a bright future!"
