Students in the Black Sea region are set to benefit from more courses on ‘Cultural Routes in Europe and the Black Sea Region’ following a BSEC Permis initiative to sign a ‘General Framework Agreement on Cooperation’ between the Black Sea Universities Network (BSUN) and the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR). The Agreement means there will also be new internship opportunities for students at the European Institute of Cultural Routes as well as collaborative projects with the aim of integrating scientific research activities supporting ‘Cultural Routes’. BSUN has now become the 14th academic body to join the University Network for Cultural Routes Studies.
