We want to welcome you in Podlasie, to engage, discuss and observe what #europeanisation of #border #regime means.

Every seminar is special for us, because it's all quiet on the so called #EasternBordersRoute!

Finally, #NikaKnez talked us through her work on #refugee #species - European bisons. More effective conservation strategies are necessary, but they are limited by the militarisation of the border, among other factors.

Thank you to all presenters & audience - full room today! 🫶
