Finally, the Panel decided to offer grants to the following projects:
- Role of the EU commercial interests in the Arctic within the EU-Russia policy dialogue
- Russia`s Soft Power in the “Near” Abroad in the Polish Official and Expert Discourses
- Law of External Relations of the EU and the process of Eurasian Integration
