Nous sommes le Young Researchers Network (YRN) , une entité officielle au sein de l'Association d'études communautaires européennes-Canada (ECSA-C YRN).
À PROPOS DU YRN
Depuis 2004, le YRN représente les jeunes chercheurs en études européennes au Canada, en organisant des conférences et des panels co-organisés lors des réunions biennales de l'ECSA-C, en facilitant l'intégration des présentations d'articles d'étudiants dans les panels de conférences générales et en promouvant généralement le réseautage professionnel et universitaire.
Le YRN :
