Aims of the Network

TREEC's main aims and objectives are:

To examine how understandings of Russian and East European cultures are communicated and translated across disciplinary, linguistic and academic-end user boundaries.
To consider the potential for Area Studies to facilitate innovative means of knowledge exchange given its multidisciplinary basis, training and practices both between disciplines as well as across academic-end user boundaries and cultural divides.
To develop and trial a range of dissemination techniques and practices drawing from expertise within both academic and non-academic contexts.
To encourage the involvement of end user communities (school children, general public, local / national government representatives, non-governmental organisations) at all stages of the initiative.
