(European Community Stud-ies Association), ARRISE be-came a full member of ECSA network, along with over 50 other national and regional academic associations who are interested in boosting teaching and research on European integration.
The Romanian Association of International Relations and European Studies (ARRISE)/ ECSA Roma-nia was established in 2010. It is composed by specialists – academics and practitioners – and it defines itself as a pro-fessional organization within the International Relations and European Studies (IRES) field. ARRISE was created in order to set up a functional and effective partnership with public authorities and with private legal persons that are
interested in this academic field. The scope of the associ-ation is to enhance knowledge about and to promote intrinsic values belonging to the area of IRES academic study and research, not only in Romania, but also in Europe and world-wide.

Call for Papers
International Conference The implications of EU policies for the social, economic and political
integration of immigrants
26 – 28 March 2015, Bucharest, Romania
This Conference intends to raise awareness upon the subject of immigrant’s inte-gration and upon the need of developing a more efficient strategy in order to cre-ate real premises for their social and economic integration. In 2012, the estimated number of immigrants in EU-27 was of 1.7 million, and another 1.7 million people that were previously residing in one EU Member State migrated to another Member State. Not only should the magnitude of this phenomenon draw attention to it, but also its implications and consequences.
The event aims at encouraging a multi-disciplinary debate between scholars and practitioners from different fields of study, such as European studies and public policies. On the other hand, this conference represents a good opportunity for young researchers to promote their academic work and to interact with representa-tives of the public administration and civil society.
Specific topics include, but are not confined to: determinants, patterns, and consequences of migration implications of social policies towards the integration of immigrants evaluation of policies that address the integration of immigrants labor market impact long-term effects and path dependencies policy reactions and impact on the political evolutions multiculturalism and interculturalism European citizenship and European culture transformation of values and attitudes the security dimension of the immigration phenomenon return migration transnationality integration policies and examples of good practices demographic and economic aspects of human migrations
How to apply? Submissions to [email protected] and [email protected] (in PDF format) should include: a 300 word abstract, name of the authors, affiliation and e-mail addresses. The abstracts will be double blind peer reviewed. The authors of the selected papers will receive a notification by e-mail until the 28th of February,
2015. The conference languages are English and Romanian.
The selected papers can be published in a new issue of the Romanian Journal of International Relations and European Studies (RoJIRES). For more information about the Journal, please go to: http://www.rise.org.ro/revista-romana-de-relatii-internationale-si-studii-europene-rojires/ Important dates: 20th February 2015 – deadline for abstract submissions 28th February 2015 – notification of accepted abstracts 15th March 2015 – deadline for full paper submissions For any further information, please go to http://www.rise.org.ro/ or write to the

The Centre for European Studies (CES) within Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi
is located in one of the easternmost locations of the European Union, an important university
centre in Romania and also a cradle of Romanian culture and history. CES was founded in
the year of 2000, after the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi took part in the project
PHARE RO 9706-01-02 "Establishment of Centre of Excellence in European Studies". Later
on, in 2009, CES acquired the status of Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence.
CES's mission is to contribute to the development of the European dimension of edu-
cation, to promote research and consultancy, information, documentation in the area of Euro-
pean Studies. Furthermore, CES is looking to scientifically exploit the potential brought by
the placement at the eastern edge of the EU by establishing a bridge between East and
West, bringing its neighbours from Eastern Europe closer to their goal of European integra-
tion. For its valuable results, in 2012 CES received the Award of Excellence for Research
and Training in European Affairs from the European Institute of Romania. Also, CES is affili-
ated to different associations, like Regional Studies Associations, Academic Association for
Contemporary European Studies and The Partnership for Peace Consortium.
CES is offering 2 Master Programmes (European Studies and Regional Development)
and various Lifelong Learning Programmes (European Economic Integration, European Busi-
ness Environment, European Integration for students in real/technical sciences, Project manager
training, Trainer of trainers etc.) looking to provide a better knowledge and understanding
of the process of integration, in its different aspects, of the standards for Romania's partici-
pation in this process and of the place and role of the European Union in the world. Starting
with 2015, in order to further promote the international dimension of education and re-
search, CES will organise the Master Programme in European Studies and the EU Eastern
Neighbourhood, in English language.
The scientific activities of CES Research Department cover fundamental and applied
research areas, as the topics of interest are adapted to the strategic research priorities es-
tablished at regional, national and European levels, being focused on regional development
and EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood.
CES’s publications represent a support for sharing ideas, theoretical and empirical
analysis in an inter- and multidisciplinary perspective of the wider European thematic stud-
ies:
- Eastern - Journal of European Studies, our main publication, has already managed
to attract studies from wide known authors in the field of economic and political studies
(currently under evaluation for Thomson ISI indexation);
- CES Working Papers is addressing young researchers, giving them the opportunity
to publish their research results, to receive feedback from other researchers in order to im-
prove their methodology and validate their results;
- The Excellence Book Collection in European Studies, in order to promote the most
representative works in the field.
For achieving its mission, CES organises various scientific events in European thematic
studies, consisting of conferences, seminars, communication sessions, debates, roundtables
etc.. The annual conference – EURINT – usually organised with the occasion of Europe Day,
represents our reference event. Since we have begun, we have always been concerned with
providing top academic events and involving numerous experts from Romania and abroad.
Being interested in strengthening our role as an active regional player, we aim to
disseminate the results of our research projects by outlining some directions of economic and
political action. To this end, we engage in conducting our projects along with other universi-
ties, centres or institutes from Romania and abroad, but also with local and national admin-
istration.
