Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Network Project “Europeani­sation meets democracy from below: The Western Balkans on the search for new European and democ­ratic Momentum – WB2EU” 

With the “WB2EU Network” project, IEP is deepening its work on the EU enlargement process towards the countries of the Western Balkans. The network pursues the goal of creating public attention on crucial issues of EU enlargement and of putting the project results up for a European wide discussion.

The inter­dis­ci­plinary project is divided into three phases in which research questions on the rule of law and justice, the social dimension as well as democ­ra­ti­sation processes “from below” are addressed. Local progressive movements will be mobilised and involved in the project, with a special focus on young people. In addition, transna­tional networking of junior and senior researchers, repre­sen­ta­tives of civil society and EU insti­tu­tions, decision-makers at local, regional and national level will be promoted.

Project outputs include a policy brief series, public discussion events (“Ideas go public Labs”) in different project partner countries, a summer school and a final book publication.
In addition to the project leaders, the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE) and the Austrian Institute for Inter­na­tional Affairs (oiip), the network includes renowned think tanks, NGOs and univer­sities from the six Western Balkan countries and the EU member states Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia and Romania.
