Regional Policy Symposium

Program Overview

• US Department of State’s Title VIII Grant Program

The Regional Policy Symposium Program, initiated in 2000 as a new model for supporting scholarship, provides US students, scholars, and professionals with a forum to examine and discuss current policy research on the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches. The research ultimately results in the development and dissemination of policy recommendations to academic and policy communities.

PROGRAM GOALS

The program, funded by the Title VIII Program of the US Department of State, has three primary goals:

• To enable US junior and senior scholars to work together in analyzing complex issues affecting the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches.

• To encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and networking opportunities among scholars with similar regional interests.  

• To provide policymaking communities with knowledge of current research on evolving regions and valuable policy conclusions drawn from intensive interaction among scholars.
