The team of the Eastern and South Eastern Europe (ESEE) FANEL Network organizes the international academic conference `The Other Europe? Resilience and Assertiveness in Our Region`, which will take place online on January 14th-15th 2022.
The conference aims at offering an opportunity to female professionals in the broader field of international relations to showcase their expertise regarding vital aspects of societal and political issues specific to the Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, to the extended Black Sea Region, and to the Central Europe. Attendees will explore common regional, sub-regional, and state issues, and exchange knowledge, with the purpose to find innovative solutions. The discussions will cover new perceptions, understandings, and expressions of power at the regional, sub-regional and national levels, and their relation with the societies’ resilience, and adaptation mechanisms.

The Eastern and South Eastern Europe (ESEE) FANEL Network was founded in 2020 by Professor Liliana Popescu, Vice-Rector for International Relations at the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA) in Bucharest, Romania, and is currently developed with the support of SNSPA and of the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Its mission is to connect women experts in international relations and in the related fields, coming from the Eastern, South-Eastern, and Central Europe, as well as the extended Black Sea region, and to increase the visibility of their work internationally, by promoting their work and publications, by helping them connect with each other based on their professional interests, and by organizing events (conferences, webinars, round tables) consisting exclusively of FANELS.
