Europe Regional Interest Group
The Europe Regional Interest Group brings together colleagues from across the university with an interest in collaborating with academic colleagues across Europe as well as those with specific research interests in any aspect of European (in its loose meaning) culture, studies, history, politics, law, philosophy etc. The Europe RIG meets once a term and provides a mechanism for helping to further promote Durham's research strengths across Europe.
