    Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities1 Ladislav Macháček2 Institute for Sociology Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava Centre for European and Regional Youth Studies Faculty of Arts UCM in Trnava Young People in Bratislava and Prague: National and Supra-National Identities The split of Czechoslovakia is a challenge for politicians and sociologists even after a decade. An answer is sought to the question of whether the actions of the political elite were justified in the light of the commencement of European integration and the complicated split of the big federations (Yugoslavia and Soviet Union) with the consequences for peace and European stability. An answer is sought to the question of whether the Slovak or Czech public would support or refuse their decision if they had been given a referendum on the matter. In 2003, Slovakia, along with the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia and Malta, successfully concluded pre- accession negotiations for EU membership (guarantee of implementing the standards of democratic governance), which officially begins on May 1st 2004. Being more enthusiastic for the newly independent Slovak Republic does not necessarily translate itself into lesser enthusiasm about Europe and European Union. However, young people from the Bratislava consider being future EU citizens as more important than young people from the Prague The young citizens of Bratislava have much greater expectations in Slovakia’s EU membership at the level of “being” in Europe than “having” something from Europe.

The conducted comparison shows the emission and concentration of PM10 in Poznan against the supra-regional background. The purpose of the comparison with similar area and population cities is to identify the position of the Poznan agglomeration in terms of particulate matter emissions. The main sources are: original research, PM official measuring stations’ data, and the relevant organizations’ reports. On the basis of the conducted comparison, it can be concluded that Wroclaw and Poznan achieve very similar results in terms of emissions.

  • Saint Petersburg State University Joint Seed Money Funding Scheme
    Call for Proposals 2018 Freie Universität Berlin – Saint Petersburg State University Joint Seed Money Funding Scheme With the goal of facilitating cooperation in the framework of a strategic partnership, Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) and Saint Petersburg State University (SPSU) have established a joint seed money funding scheme. The funding shall enable FUB and SPSU faculty and researchers to identify complementary strengths, facilitate the use of synergies, increase joint research, high level publications, academic mobility, and promote the development of outstanding future research projects. The joint funding scheme with an annual budget of € 40.000 (equivalent in roubles, respectively) aims at supporting the first steps of research collaboration. The following formats are possible: • Intensive research workshops • Short term research stays (for young as well as established researchers) • Research-oriented teaching / short intensive graduate seminars • Mobility for the preparation of joint research proposals The supported activities should have a clearly defined focus and serve as a catalyst for the development of new joint projects. The activities can take place in Berlin or in Saint Petersburg; participants should include both senior and junior faculty/researchers of FUB and SPSU. Maximum funding per proposal is € 10.000 (equivalent in roubles respectively). The motivation for holding the activity should be clearly explained, including how the involved FUB and SPSU institutes or departments can profit long term from this cooperation and what synergies can arise. Inclusion of German non-university research institutions such as Max Planck Institutes, Helmholtz Centers, and others as well as Russian institutions, is encouraged, however, the additional costs must be covered by these partners themselves.
