In Italy, on 29 January 2019, Dr TYUSHKA participated in the EU IDEA Project-inaugural conference Shaping the EU’s Future through Differentiated Integration, co-organized by the Instituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in Rome and the project partner institutions. The EU IDEA (an acronym for the project title: ‘Integration and Differentiation for Effectiveness and Accountability’) is a collaborative research project on differentiated integration within and beyond Europe that brings together 15 EU and extra-EU partners coordinated by IAI Rome.
