📢 Call for Contributions: National Minorities in Moldova & the Path to EU Accession
Are you a researcher focusing on minority politics, legal frameworks, or geopolitical shifts in Eastern Europe?
We are inviting scholars to submit abstracts for our upcoming workshop: "National minorities in Moldova in the context of EU accession".
📍 Where: ECMI Headquarters, Flensburg, Germany
📅 When: 13 November 2026
As Moldova moves closer to EU membership, understanding the legal, institutional, and geopolitical dimensions of its minority politics is more critical than ever. This workshop aims to bridge academic debate and policymaking on topics such as:
⚡ The implementation of the legal framework for minority protection
⚡ Gagauz autonomy and its relationship with Chișinău
⚡ The implications of Transnistria’s frozen conflict for EU integration
⚡ The impact of the war in Ukraine and outmigration on minority communities
⚡ Language policy and political representation
Submission Details:
Interested participants should submit an abstract (300 words) and a short biographical note (100 words) to Dr. Andreea Cârstocea (carstocea@
ecmi.de).
⏳ Deadline for submissions: 15 September 2026
Perks:
Selected participants will have their accommodation (two nights) and meals covered for the duration of the workshop! (Please note that participants are expected to arrange their own travel to Flensburg).
Join us in Flensburg to contribute to this vital discussion on the future of Moldova and its diverse communities.
