MIREES: the master's in Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on Eastern Europe

MIREES (Interdisciplinary Research and Studies on Eastern Europe) is a two-year graduate programme worth 120 ECTS, taught entirely in English. It was launched by the Faculty of Political Science "Roberto Ruffilli" of the University of Bologna at its Forlì campus, with the support of the Europe and the Balkans International Network coordinated by IECOB.

Around 2010 it covered post-socialist transition, the new EU member states after the 2004 and 2007 enlargements and the EU's eastern neighbours, and led to a joint diploma issued with Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Corvinus University of Budapest and St Petersburg State University.

The programme continues today at the University of Bologna as the second-cycle degree in East European and Eurasian Studies; for current partners, admission rules and deadlines, see the official programme page. More in our article Studying Eastern Europe in Italy: MIREES then and now.
