AEBR Cross-Border School is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest research and trends on cross-border cooperation. Once every year academics and practitioners are discussing with their audience the added value of cross-border cooperation against the backdrop of the current political situation locally and globally.
The AEBR Cross-Border School is held annually, usually in the (northern) autumn, as a pre-event to the AEBR Annual Conference. It has been organized since 2017 by the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and the Nijmegen Centre for Border Research at the Radboud University. Since 2022, it has been part of the 21st Century Borders project, led by the University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) within the BIG Lab (Borders in Globalisation), co-funded by the Social and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
