Whether or not you feel #NATO membership for #Georgia 🇬🇪 is feasible or not, @nseskuria is spot on: it gets overlooked, and this is both unfair and also a threat to its security

Jak "dobra" jest umowa #BrexitDeal, jak wpłynie na #UE, #UK i #PolacywAngli i czy przypadkiem nie upadnie? Opowiadał w @Radio_TOK_FM nasz ekspert @wpaczos. Posłuchajcie!

Very varied picture of GDP/head (PPS) for the Baltic rim - from some of EU's wealthiest regions, to some of the poorest

GDP per capita (PPS) by NUTS2 regions, from the "Proposals for the MFF and Cohesion Policy 2021-27: a preliminary assessment".

Do past institutions affect modern education?[yes, a lot!] Why only some institutions matter in the long run?[social norms and ethnic identity]. My article on the effect of the Partitions of Poland on education is out in J. Comp. Econ. @CEP_LSE #PL100

Happy #PolishIndependence Day! Here's a piece I wrote in my previous research life on #Piłsudski's ambition of a creating a federal Poland after #WWI. Was it merely a pipe dream, or a real possibility? https://t.co/myoKJ4G3Ek #Armistice100 #niepodległa100

Why has research in the EU13 countries not caught up with the west? https://t.co/CIKn9sIlVK via @timeshighered

"You don’t become a growth champion by accident. The success story of the CEE region post-1989 offers lessons for other countries worldwide. How to continue to converge and when do wealth disparities become a real problem?". My interview based on the book https://t.co/nwZ9kKzMja

[Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 @notesfrompoland]

Opposition leader @SchetynadlaPO says that Poland's terrible 'smog is a symbol of the current authorities, of their negative impact'.

Remind us again, which party had been in power for 6 years in 2013, when the @WHO listed 33 Polish cities among the 50 most polluted in Europe?

[Crossing the Baltic @CrossingBaltic]

Iron Curtain in research persists in Europe. #CEE universities have little incentive to apply for competitive @ERC_Research grants, and are marred by 'inbreeding' (low levels of circulation of academics btw universities), and by lack of collaboration between departments https://t.co/JbGDptPi0K

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

“Easy money” from EU has made universities in central and eastern Europe “lazy” and dulled need to compete for funding at highest level, institutional leaders from the region tell THE #ResearchEx summit

[Mateusz Zatoński @ZatonskiMateusz]

Andrew Wilson: a public opinion swing away from the #EurasianUnion and towards the #EuropeanUnion palpable in #EasternEurope. Key exemplar of this: Belarus. Main exception: Moldova. At the same time, nascent economic natalism/#nationalism in Ukraine and Georgia. #basees18
