FINAL CONFERENCE WAS HELD

The conference was held on 29-30 September 2011 in the Çobanoğlu Hall of Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences in Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey. Its title was “Rethinking Community and Identity in European Regions in Decline”. A total of 16 papers, 8 of which were presented by scholars from without the project, were presented in the two-day event. The conference therefore provided a platform through which the consortium members and other scholars could share approaches, data, and outcomes relevant to SPHERE as well as other research projects. Particularly noteworthy in this sense was the participation of Robert Miller, the coordinator of EUROINDENTITIES, another EU-funded collaborative project. The conference was a great success academically; there were very lively discussions in all sessions. The conference also enabled the project partners to share the conclusions of research in their own countries as well as of the project in general with Turkish academics and graduate students who were in the audience.
