ITEM / TEIN ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2024 
THE FUTURE OF CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION AND MOBILITY: 
HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION AND BEYOND 

ITEM is proud to announce the public PhD defense of ITEM researcher Sander Kramer on Friday 8th December 2023 at 13.00h.

After recent regional and national elections in the Netherlands (March & November 2023), Belgium (June 9 2024) and the European elections (June 6-9 2024), a new political reality has emerged on several levels; the regions, the Netherlands and Belgium, the Benelux and the European Union. 

On the occasion of our 10th anniversary, in cooperation with Studium Generale, ITEM organises a lecture series in which we look back at 10 years of developments in cross-border cooperation and mobility.

This 2-day Conference co-organised by the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross-border cooperation and Mobility (ITEM) as well as the Transfrontier Euro-Institut Network (TEIN) and supported by the Borders in Globalization-21st century project, addresses the practical challenges and prospects of future cross-border cooperation and mobility and advances debates and policy outlooks around and beyond the concept of horizontal integration. 

You are cordially invited to the ITEM Annual Conference 2024 with the theme: From Green deal to Industrial deal – Decline “border blindness” & Experience the living labs of European Integration.
