- “Regional Universities in the Baltic Sea Region Facing Globalization in the Knowledge- Based Society”, Arild Tjedvoll et al. (eds.): Higher Education Facing Globalization and Europeanization, Kaunas: Technologija, 2005, 96-113. Other Research Plans: Another planned research framework focus upon the relationship between regionalisation and globalisation in general, and are connected with the issue of regional governance in the Baltic Sea region and East-Central Europe in particular. The continuation and further development of my recently developed research themes are envisaged, although with a more intensive focus on the relationship between regional integration and the changing national and international environment. This perspective seems particularly interesting because regions, having achieved a high degree of integration and institutionalisation, may be viewed as action units, and not only as actions spaces, and as such their capacity to learn new modes of behaviour on the international arena may be analysed. Here the concept of a learning region, originally developed in economic geography and economics may be applied to the domain of international relations for addressing the ability of a regional regime to change and adjust in a flexible way to its external settings. Studying the learning capacity of a region, within the international relations context, opens up a range of possible criteria analysis. It also reaches out to other disciplines, thus providing a possible meeting ground for an interdisciplinary study of regions and regional integration. ADMINISTRATIVE INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE: In recent years, I have become more and more involved in conceptualising, administrating and coordinating projects developed within the EU’s FP5 and FP6. These activities were closely connected with raising supplementary funds to support research and training for young researchers. 2000 – 2002 While pursuing my own research at the Nordeuropa-Institut of the Humboldt University Berlin, I also acted as a project co-ordinator for the FP5 research training network The Baltic Sea Area Studies – Northern Dimension of Europe (BaltSeaNet) (HPRN-CT-2000-0073). Coordinated by Prof. Dr. Bernd Henningsen, the project involves eight partner universities, among which a lively exchange of young researchers takes place. Regular workshops, summer schools and seminars are also organized. To enhance the research capacity of the project, and to spread excellence to a larger audience, I co-authored a successful application within the High Level Scientific Conferences series of the European Communities, which enabled the organization of a series of four conferences under the common heading The Baltic Sea Region 2010 (HPCF-CT-2002-00459). 2002 – 2004 During my work at the Alfried-Krupp-Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald, I organized a network and coordinated writing the proposal for a network of excellence within FP6. The network Northern European Knowledge Network of Excellence (NEKON) has been planned to include some 60 senior researchers and 30 young researchers coming from 18 different universities and research institutions across Europe, including the United Kingdom. NEKON will carry out interdisciplinary research on societal trends in the knowledge based society and their implications for the quality of life Since 2001 I have also carried out a series of analyses towards the implementation of a new graduate study programme entitled ‘The Baltic Sea Region Studies’ at the University of Gdansk. As a continuation of this activity, I have recently got involved in an initiative establishing the Baltic Institute for Advanced Study in Gdansk. - 4 -
