STUDENT REGISTRATION

Welcome to the Euroculture Intensive Programme 2020

An essential part of the MA in Euroculture, the IP is both a long-standing conference and celebration. Organised and hosted by the University of Deusto in Bilbao, it will gather students, faculty and guest academics to engage in the discussion of the present and future of Europe. 

A Sustainable Europe?

The IP aims to address the triple ecological, democratic and social challenge that Europe faces, but instead of focusing on crises and responses, actions and reactions, it suggests to apply a different analytical mind-set to the problem field by putting the concept of sustainability at the centre.

READ FULL ABSTRACT

Sub-theme 1

The ecological sustainability of Europe

The focus is on the cultural attitudes to nature and the human condition, and on the ecological dimension in the construction of contemporary societies.

Sub-theme 2

The democratic sustainability of Europe

Solidarity and trust between peoples and persons are fundamental to overcome the collective action problems associated with environmental protection. 

Sub-theme 3

The societal
sustainability of Europe

European mobility of goods, capital and persons challenge the established notion of nationality and state borders as the boundaries of trust, solidarity, identity constructions and openness erode. 

Welcome to Bilbao!

❖ ❖ ❖
Due to the current lockdown situation in Bilbao and in Spain all travel arrangements should be canceled.
The face-to-face activities of the programme are suspended.

During your stay you will have the chance to explore one of the most exciting regions Spain has to offer and one of the largest city of the Basque Country. The Old Town with a unique atmosphere created from over 700 years of cultural heritage awaits you along its river. While the iconic Guggenheim Museum sets the stage for Bilbao’s modern district.

The city has a lot more to offer than what you can squeeze into a single visit. Culture, gastronomy, sun, sea, world famous wineries, active tourism and above all an identity and lifestyle for you to experience. The whole of Bilbao is within walking distance from the University of Deusto and its Residence Hall and by metro you can easily reach the rugged coastline of Bizcay and its beaches.
