On 16 September 2020, the Leibniz ScienceCampus “Eastern Europe – Global Area” (EEGA) organises a small-scale event in place of the 2nd Regional Conference of the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) on “Globalising Eastern Europe – New Perspectives on Transregional Entanglements”, originally planned for September 2020 in Leipzig.

The two-part panel discussion (45 minutes each) focuses on topical issues that have emerged in this turbulent year, and which will shape our work as researchers in the foreseeable future, namely

• research questions that arise because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and
• impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on practicalities of empirical research.

The event starts at 7 pm and features Gwendolyn Sasse (ZOiS), Judith Pallot (BASEES), Matthias Middell (EEGA), Gabriele Freitag (DGO), and Stefan Rohdewald (UL) as invited guests. It is moderated by Gemma Pörzgen (free journalist).
