Eastern Europe and Transatlantic Network
EETN: Who are we?
The Eastern Europe and Transatlantic Network is a new initiative hosted by the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University and funded by the Department of National Defence. This project will offer a critical Canadian perspective on the political, economic, and societal shifts that have occurred since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The EETN is one of three recipients of the Government of Canada’s Mobilizing Insights in Defence and Security (MINDS) funding for collaborative networks in the 2024-2025 year. The EETN addresses two of the major defence policy challenges outlined by the Canadian Government: Strategic Competition and Global Issues. With aims to provide insight into strategic competition and global issues in regions of study, the EETN offers a critical perspective on the ongoing geopolitical, economic, and societal situations in Europe, Eurasia, and the Arctic.
