The project The Emergence of New States in Eastern Europe in 1918

The project The Emergence of New States in Eastern Europe in 1918 Lessons for Entire Europe (TENSE), implemented by WiseEuropa, was completed in March 2020. It was a project that focused on the process of building nations after 1918 in Eastern Europe. The project aimed to increase knowledge in a region characterized by common features of processes presenting nations as a system of connected vessels and show the differences between them, placing them in a broader European context. In order to achieve allproject goals, there were established a consortium gathering various actors from Eastern Europe varying from local administration through think-tanks and academia up to journals which published a report and series of articles on the post-First World War nation-building processes in the Eastern Europe and their relevance for current Europe. They were based on a regional approach to the region, trying to extract the main common elements of this period. The main message of these publications was transformed into a public exhibition that was presented in all participant countries and in Brussels in order to reach out to a broader audience in Europe. As part of the project, there were organized open debates with the participation of local experts, scientists, and journalists to stimulate citizens to acquire knowledge in the area covered by the project. There were also published series of publications in widely recognized and well-known Europe-oriented magazines that are available throughout the European Union. The TENSE project also brought together European experts focused on nation-building processes to enrich their research on regional impact in their home countries through the European context of these events and many common points. He also contributed to the creation of a scientific network that influenced public debate in the European Union and later after the project. As part of the project, an exhibition presenting the political situation in Eastern European partner countries was also prepared, which wasshown during debates organized as part of the project.
