The Baltic University Programme announces the publication of A new BUP book After months of work, we can now share that we have published the book Re-thinking the Baltic Sea Region: trends and challenges. This book has been created within the project Digital at Home which has focused on the internationalisation of higher education, aiming at rethinking the concept of internalisation and how it is being conducted in education at universities.
This publication aims to critically (re)approach the classical understanding of region and region-building processes in difficult times of war in the region itself. The publication also aims to freshly chronicle the processes that have taken place in the region over the past two decades.
The book has had Tomasz Branka, Adam Mickiewicz University, and Victor Shadurski, University of Wrocław as editors and in total twelve colleagues from the Baltic Sea Region and BUP participating universities have been involved. Read the full book via DiVA.
