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 will opened up to non-consortium students (partial funding: accommodation, tuition fee). All applicants will follow the same section 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.
By the end on the project by 2024, we plan to organize some major events to promote our project outputs.
Check out our upcoming international conference: “Understanding Authoritarianism: New Frontiers in the Study of Dictatorship and Democracy.”
