The CEELBAS Network Project workshop on 'Methods of Memory Studies: Russia and Eastern Europe' held at the University of Cambridge in December 2008 has led to Project Leader Alexander Etkind submitting a successful bid to the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research Programme Call under the Cultural Dynamics: Inheritance and Identity theme.

Dr Etkind's project on Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine will form part of HERA's 16.5 million euro project to create collaborative, trans-national research addressing major social, cultural, and political challenges facing Europe, details of which can be found here.

A report on the initial CEELBAS workshop which started the collaborative process that led to Dr Etkind's successful HERA application can be accessed here.
