“The Centre for EU-Russia Studies (CEURUS) offered a stimulating working environment. I very much appreciated the perfect accommodation and excellent research facilities. My visiting research stay significantly increased my knowledge of the region and the EU-Russia relationship. I also enjoyed staying in Tartu, which is a very cosy student town. Last but not least, the kind assistance of the CEURUS staff members made me feel home from the first day of my arrival.”
