UACES: The UK Hub for Expertise in Post-Brexit Europe
From 2017 to 2020 UACES received financial support from the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union to run a range of activities supporting our aim to advance education for the public benefit through the promotion of teaching and research in contemporary European Studies.
How was the funding used?
The funding came from the Jean Monnet Support to Associations programme and funded:
The redevelopment of the UACES website
The UACES website redevelopment was of key importance for futureproofing the Association and ensuring that the website remained user-friendly and accessible in the mobile age. The funding from the UPBE project enabled UACES to employ a web developer and a designer to create a new website which optimises user experience and makes the work of the Association and its members more visible.
