The EDB Technical Assistance Fund conducts this competition for a grant for research or for the publication of monographs on integration yearly in the framework of its Regional Integration Studies Programme.

«The objective of this programme is to promote research into Eurasian integration, develop international cooperation and support young and promising researchers who are working on integration themes,» says Vladimir Yasinsky, Member of the EDB Management Board and Managing Director for Research. «The priority projects are cross-disciplinary studies covering economics, politics and industries such as transport, communications, the power sector and the environment, which are of practical significance for the integration of the states, sectors and companies of the Bank’s member countries.»

The current competition is open until 20 May 2013.

The competition invites researchers and teams of scholars (two to four persons) from institutions and organisations of the CIS and, in the first place, the Bank’s member states.

The winning papers will be published in the Eurasian Economic Integration journal and the Eurasian Integration Yearbook. The winners may also receive an additional grant to take part in the Bank’s conference if their themes coincide with the theme of the conference.
