  How "European values" unite and divide. Rule of law, identity and morality politics in the European Union

  Final Conference of the ValEUR research project

  The conference addresses the role, effects and meanings of values at the crossroads of politics, culture, market and law. It documents the circulation and shaping of values between the different spheres of the European multi-level governance (local, national, supranational, transnational). It investigates the EU as a container of values politics as well as its interactions with external entities (Council of Europe, UN, rest of the world). A secondary purpose is to map the research using values as an exploratory framework of wider transformations of politics, policies and polities in Europe. Leaders of scientific projects having developed such agendas in recent years figure among the contributors.

  The Danube - Europe and the challenge of a river

  L'Europe à l'épreuve d'un fleuve

  Le Danube est-il un fleuve européen ? Qu'est-ce à dire ? Pour tenter de répondre à cette question, huit chercheurs internationaux mettent en évidence les connexions et déconnexions ou « dysconnexions » qui surgissent au travers de diverses modalités d’existence du Danube. Pour interroger cette européanité d’un fleuve, nous mobiliserons les représentations associées au Danube et analyserons le vécu quotidien de ses riverains.

  Second International Conference on Uyghur Studies

  2e colloque international sur les études Ouïghoures

  The Uyghurs are one of the ten most populous stateless nations in the world. While they have a long history of cultural accomplishments and political influences, they have remained marginal in international scholarship given their ambiguous position both in regional studies and in geopolitics. This conference is the second attempt to bring together a broad spectrum of the international community of scholars whose research is focused on the Uyghur people’s history, culture, society.

Such doctoral seminar aims at providing Ph.D students who work on issues related to globalisation a dynamic and informal space to present their work, receive inputs from discussants and participants and have a chance to discuss with one of the major sociologists in the field. The participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their research questions, to receive informed opinions and to meet other academics working on similar issues in different regional context.

  Conference, symposium - Urban studies

  Les politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives

  L'Université Libre de Bruxelles, le Comité économique et Social européen et le Centre International pour la Ville et l'Architecture organisent une journée de réflexion consacrée aux politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives. Cette journée vise a débattre des enjeux posés par une prise en considération d'espaces administratifs comme espaces culturels. La reconversion progressive de Bruxelles en "Capitale de l'Europe" interroge ce réchauffement de la froideur administrative et souligne l'intérêt du développement d'un travail comparatif avec d'autres villes spécialisées dans la fonction administrative ou d'autres espaces administratifs où s'insèrent des dispositifs culturels.
