Events
The M.O.R.D.O.R. project plans to hold several events aimed at scholars, students and stakeholders working on authoritarian contexts as well as democracy support and EU foreign policy.
For students of the consortium we offered two Master Classes with full funding (travel, accommodation, tuition fee) to advanced undergraduate and graduate students working on the topics related to the Master Class. A selected number of places were granted to deserving non-consortium students (partial funding: accommodation, tuition fee). All applicants underwent the same selection process. Each Master class hosted about 20-30 students for a duration of 8 or 10 days. Classes were taught by scholars from the M.O.R.D.O.R. consortium in addition to some guest lecturers.
In May 2024 we held our international conference: “Understanding Authoritarianism: New Frontiers in the Study of Dictatorship and Democracy.”
On 18 September 2024, we organize a working dinner with EU stakeholders to present our EU foreign policy brief on democracy support.
Since our project is coming to an end we are no organizing our final event:
