DisTerrMem - Disputed Territories & Memory

DisTerrMem (Disputed Territories & Memory) is a three-year EU-funded project (2019-2022) in which an international team of researchers from six organisations are collaborating to explore the management of competing memories of disputed territories across borders. The project is looking at the roles of civil society groups, cultural practitioners, nation states and regional organisations in managing such memories, and will develop a new and innovative model for understanding the successful management of competing memories in non-conflictual ways in the context of peace-building.

The project is led by the University of Bath (UK), in collaboration with five partner NGOs and universities: University of Warsaw (Poland), Borderland Foundation (Poland), National Academy of Sciences (Armenia), Educational & Cultural Bridges (Armenia) and Forman Christian College (Pakistan).
