Membership of Assessing Accession is open to anyone with an interest in the network's core research areas.  A list of our members, also known as the Assessing Accession Research Database is available below. The database can be used to identify other researchers within the network with common interests.  

 

If your research interests relate to the relationships between Central and East European countries and the European Union, then we encourage you become a member of the network and add your details to the Research Database.  Membership of Assessing Accession is FREE, however we encourage our members, if they have not already done so, to consider joining UACES. For details on UACES membership please click HERE

 

If you wish to search for individuals with research interests which relate to the European Union in a wider context, you should consider searching the Expert on Europe database provided by UACES.  

 

The Research Database is ordered alphabetically.  A detailed search function will be added soon.  In the meantime please either (1) scroll through the list to identify individuals with similar interests to your own or (2) press Ctrl+f on your keyboard to bring up the 'search page' function which will allow you to search for specific words.  Alternatively, you can subscribe to a full search enabled RSS 2.0 Feed
