Description
1. European centre for Ethnic, Regional and Sociological Studies of the University of Maribor - ECERS was founded by the University of Maribor in 1989. It is a small, but, very flexible research institute. The ECERS reasearch group comprises faculty professors, independent reasearch workers and senior as well as junior researchers. The number of researchers varies according to the requirements of the single projects. 2. In the focus of ECERS research work are the following issues: - political, ethnic, cultural and linguistic aspects of the European integration in the context of the EU enlargement and with emphasis on the position of the Slovenian nation, Slovenian minorities and ethnic communities in Slovenia; - nationalism, ethnic movements, inter-ethnic relations and protection of minorities with emphasis on South East Europe; - the role of religious communities in enhancing of democracy, human rights and religious freedoms, protection of minorities and spreading of reconciliation and cooperation between the nations in South East Europe; - regionalism and European integration, international regional organisations, cross-border cooperation (including "Euroregions"), especially in the context of the EU enlargement, and with emphasis on the cooperation of Slovenia with neighbouring countries; - the activities of international governmental and non-governmental institutions and organisations from the working field of ECERS, especially possibilities for structural European cooperation of Slovenia; - common foreign and security policy of the EU and especially the implementation of this policy in relation to the South East Europe; - the status of an individual in international law with emphasis on international procedures for protection of human rights and rights of members of ethnic minorities; - the role of the civil society in enhancement of democracy and co-operation of citizens in the processes of decision-making in the countries "in transition". 3. Important part of ECERS activites form organisation of scientific and expert gatherings, pedagogical work and editing and publishing activities. ECERS is the editoral office of the journal "Regional Contact", which is published once a year in English language. It is dedicated to the exchange of experience and ideas on regionalism, cross-border co-operation and cultural interchange between regions, preservation of cultural heritage of regions and ethnic groups and the protection of minorities in Europe. 4. ECERS closely cooperates with some relevant international organisations; especially with the international non-governmental organisation ISCOMET (International Scientific Conference Minorities for Europe of Tomorrow - an NGO with the consultative status with the Council of Europe) and with the international MFD Foundation for fostering the protection of cultural heritage of ethnic and religious minorities in South East Europe (both with the seat in Maribor).
