EUROSPHERE - Diversity and the European Public Sphere. Towards a Citizens' Europe (FP6)

EUROSPHERE (2007-2013) was an integrated project funded within the European Union's 6th Framework Programme.

Eurosphere sought to develop new perspectives about European public spheres and identify the factors that facilitate or hinder the articulation of inclusive European public spheres. Public spheres are understood as different networks, arenas and spaces of communication and interaction where political institutions, social and political actors, and citizens meet and interact with each other. In this connection, focus is specifically be on political parties, social movements, think tanks, and media as well as the specific forms and spaces of interaction these actors create.

The research team also aimed to define the areas of contestation and conflict in politicians’ attempts to develop new public spheres. This was done in connection with assessments of the feasibility of five different models of such social arenas and the feasibility of supranational strategies for articulating diverse European public spheres.

The research plan comprised synchronized data collection in 16 countries, comparative data analysis and assessment activities as well as the creation of a Eurosphere Knowledge Base with data and findings on the condition of the European Public Sphere and European Citizenship, and a large collection of academic publications.

In addition to research activities, Eurosphere initiated two policy-targeted EuroForums and organized four international conferences. It also organised training programmes for young researchers participating in the Eurosphere research, as well as summer courses for junior researchers about Eurosphere’s theories, methods, and results in order to create an impact beyond the duration of the project.

The Eurosphere consortium comprised about 150 researchers from 17 universities and research institutes from 16 countries across Europe. The five-year project is funded with €4,1 mill. (NOK33 mill.) by the European Commission’s 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The project is also supported by the Norwegian Research Council (NOK6 Mill) and the University of Bergen (two PhD scholarships and additional personnel resources).

EUROELITES - Europeanization of the Norwegian Public Sphere

This project was a local extension of Eurosphere. It is co-funded by the Norwegian Research Council, the University of Bergen, and the Social Sciences Faculty. By extending the Norwegian part of Eurosphere, it aimed to assess how selected Norwegian social and political actors attempt to influence the debates in and about the European public sphere as well as how “European” they themselves become in this process. This project involves four PhD-projects:

1. Bjarte Folkestad’s doctoral project is ‘Political Parties and Europe: A Study of Euroscepticism in Nordic and Central Eastern European political parties’. An important question he will answer is why some political parties are eurosceptic, and the consequences of political parties’ euroscepticism for the development of a European public sphere.

2. Camilla M. Tønnevold's doctoral project "National media and public debate on citizenship and integration in a multicultural Europe” concentrates on what contributions the national media offer as a social actor on a European level with respect to the 'hot topics' of Europe and its nation-states: immigration policies, citizenship and belonging.

3. Susanne Bygnes will in her doctoral project investigate to what degree different approaches to diversity influence the boundary work of social movements in the relation to the national and the EU: can some perspectives on, and practices of, diversity systematically be tied to certain visions of Norway as a nation state or a part of a European community?

4. Marybel Perez will in her doctoral project examine cohabitation models advocated by think tanks interested in influencing EU agenda identity formation and immigration. This research considers think tanks to be reflection on how European citizens and institutions feel about diversity and immigration and to play a key role in the construction of the coexistence model in the EU.

All these PhD-projects constitute a new, larger project which will develop parallel with the Eurosphere research. This project shares personnel resources with Eurosphere for nine months during the data collection phase, and after data collection, they go their own ways in order to answer their own research questions with their own resources.

QUO VADIS, EUROPE?

The main pbjective of this international collaborative project is to bring together students, Ph.D. students, researchers and experts from 3 European countries (Slovakia, Iceland and Norway) and perform thorough research in the field of economic, political and cultural future of European continent. The output of such cooperation should enrich the scientific knowledge and lead to preparing a joint scientific publication. Each partner is expected to participate with a group of 10 people, consisting of 4 students, 4 PhD. students and 2 professors or any other balanced combination totaling 10. The students should be chosen in an essay writing contest open to all students of the participating institutions. The project will consist of 3 interconnected phases: Stability, Prosperity and Culture. Each of these phases will begin with consultations and will culminate with a workshop and international conference hosted by one of the partner universities. Each phase can be divided as follows:

PRELIMINARY STAGE: defining questions, online consultations, creating and comparing positions, studying and exchanging information on the topic

WORKSHOP: building mixed teams, discussing the topic in panels, creating optimistic, neutral and pessimistic scenarios on the development of the topic

STAGE OF EVALUATION: providing feedback, discussing the outcome of cooperation, preparing studies to be published After concluding all the phases the project will culminate by publishing an international study on the topic.

The project is coordinated by The Faculty of International Relations in Bratislava. The other two partners are University of Akureyri (Iceland) and the University of Bergen. The local coordinators at the University of Bergen are Hakan G. Sicakkan and Kjersti Fløttum.

Nordic Journal of Migration Research

The Board of Nordic Migration Research and the Norwegian Journal of Migration Research have agreed that, starting in 2010, NTMF becomes Nordic, undergoes a name-change to Nordic Journal of Migration Research, and will from then on be published by NMR as an English-only, peer-reviewed international journal.

The new Journal will publish high-quality research in the areas of migration theory and empirically-oriented analyses of migratory processes, integration policies and intercultural relations. It will give high priority to Nordic issues and comparative studies of integration in Nordic and non-Nordic countries. It will occasionally publish guest-edited Special Issues devoted to particular themes or theoretical problems.

The new Nordic journal will publish up to four issues a year. From 1 August 2009, we will accept articles in English with a view to publishing them in the new Nordic journal. Articles in English that have been submitted to NTMF and are still in process by the end of 2009, will be transferred to the pool of articles reviewed by the editorial board of the NMR Journal.
Membership of NMR comprises a subscription to the NMR Journal.

Professor Ulf Hedetoft (University of Copenhagen) and Associate Professor Hakan G. Sicakkan (University of Bergen) are Editors-in-Chief of the new Nordic Journal.
