Association of European Studies for the Caucasus/ AESC
One of the main aims of the project is to create “Association of European Studies for the Caucasus”, AESC. AESC supports science and research, general political education as well as cross-border co-operation in the countries of the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russian Federation, Turkey as well as other neighbouring countries). Its goal is to enhance the study of European integration processes with a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary focus. Its mission is to become a hub for the scholarly community in the Caucasus. By co-ordinating research and building capacity among researchers of the region, it provides expertise and enhances perspectives for EU-Caucasus relations.
