“Political and Economic Influence, Trade, Borders and Culture: Understanding European-Russian Relations”


The EMR Forum is a network of young professionals & students from across the worldwho have an interest in the European-Russian relationship. The program has been developed in recognition of the importance of the relationship between Russia, Europe, and the global political system.

The ultimate goal of the forum is to educate, enhance and sustain the Russian-European relationship by empowering the next generation of young leaders from Europe and Russia. The forum organizes conferences, public lectures, events and online activities throughout the year where we provide exclusive access to the members of the forum.

As an independently developed and organized program, EMR offers a unique opportunity to come together and foster wider, deeper relations on an academic, cultural and political level. This in turn will develop a wider understanding of intercultural issues, promote personal growth, and contribute to the creation of innovative policy-oriented solutions to issues affecting all countries and cultures.
