In Brief
About the Project
While territorial conflicts and difficulties of coming to terms with the past have lead to lingering tensions in East Asia, the Euroopean economic and refugee crisis has caused a threat to regional integration and a rise in nationalism. As an intercultural exchange program, EPRIE aims to contribute through enhanced dialog to improving cooperation among neighboring countries in East Asia and Europe, and to support the process of integration in each region. By strengthening transnational relations, EPRIE shall actively contribute toward promoting international understanding.
