Our aim is to promote the development of the study of Russia, Central and Eastern Europe. We place language training at the heart of our activities and actively develop the research agenda, focusing on key themes in these countries. By doing so, we put the UK in a leading position to engage with this important region. Our training of postgraduate students and young researchers to become specialists in the field of Russian, Central and East European Studies and our engagement with the academic and public policy agendas are crucial for the well-being of the United Kingdom. Many other European countries have held a competitive edge in this area for some time. The expansion of the European Union (EU), the impact of the current economic crisis, issues of security, welfare, migration, minority rights and developments in culture and society are key themes for CRCEES. We are well aware of issues surrounding migration as it impacts on this country, but why does this take place? What is going on in our chosen area which results in the flow of different peoples to this country and what are the implications of this? What is happening to the European Union? What are the economic and social implications of the current crisis and where does the EU go from here? Will there be further expansion, for example, to include Turkey? What is happening to our 'near neighbours' in Ukraine and Russia and in the former soviet space, particularly in Central Asia and the Caucasus? Why is nationalism on the rise and what does this mean for the stability of the region? We have seen the Greek crisis but there are many countries in our selected area of research which are equally vulnerable. In an increasingly competitive world we need to know more about these societies and cultures. We have long history of cultural engagement and have worked with various embassies and funding bodies in the promotion of public events, which is something we aim to continue in the next phase of the Centre. Awareness and understanding of different cultures is an important part of our work. Cultural discourse and interaction will continue to form a crucial theme for us and we have made links with many local migrant communities as well as public bodies and NGOs in furthering this agenda. We have been engaged actively in the development of new research and cultural agendas, such as exploring the ways in which Russian and East European cultures are translated and perceived across disciplinary, linguistic and academic-end user boundaries. In the first phase of funding for Language Based Area Studies, the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies and the other Centres have developed an international brand which has succeeded in producing a new cohort of specialists. These young graduates, who are now working in academia, public policy, the business community and in the NGO sector, are making a positive contribution not only in terms of the issues outlined above, but in making the UK a more competitive force in this vital region. These new specialists together with those already in academic life possess a solid grasp of the various languages of the region, which increases their ability to make a real impact.

我们的目标是促进俄罗斯，中欧和东欧研究的发展。我们将语言培训作为我们活动的核心，并积极制定研究议程，重点关注这些国家的关键主题。通过这样做，我们使英国处于与这一重要地区接触的领先地位。我们对研究生和年轻研究人员的培训，使他们成为俄罗斯，中欧和东欧研究领域的专家，以及我们参与学术和公共政策议程，对联合王国的福祉至关重要。一段时间以来，许多其他欧洲国家在这一领域拥有竞争优势。欧洲联盟（欧盟）的扩大、当前经济危机的影响、安全、福利、移民、少数群体权利以及文化和社会发展等问题，都是该中心的关键主题。我们很清楚移民对这个国家的影响，但为什么会发生这种情况？在我们所选择的地区发生了什么，导致不同的民族流向这个国家，这意味着什么？欧盟怎么了？当前危机的经济和社会影响是什么？欧盟将何去何从？是否会进一步扩大，例如将土耳其包括在内？我们的“近邻"乌克兰、俄罗斯和前苏联地区，特别是中亚和高加索地区发生了什么？为什么民族主义在上升，这对该地区的稳定意味着什么？我们已经看到了希腊危机，但在我们选定的研究领域中，有许多国家同样脆弱。在一个竞争日益激烈的世界里，我们需要更多地了解这些社会和文化。我们在文化参与方面有着悠久的历史，并与各大使馆和资助机构合作推广公共活动，这是我们在中心下一阶段继续努力的目标。对不同文化的认识和理解是我们工作的重要组成部分。文化对话和互动将继续成为我们的一个重要主题，我们与许多当地移民社区以及公共机构和非政府组织建立了联系，以推动这一议程。我们一直积极参与新的研究和文化议程的发展，例如探索俄罗斯和东欧文化跨学科，语言和学术最终用户边界的翻译和感知方式。在语言基础领域研究资助的第一阶段，俄罗斯，中欧和东欧研究中心和其他中心开发了一个国际品牌，成功地培养了一批新的专家。这些年轻的毕业生，谁现在在学术界，公共政策，商界和非政府组织部门工作，不仅在上述问题方面作出了积极贡献，但在使英国在这个重要地区更具竞争力的力量。这些新的专家加上那些已经在学术生活中掌握了该地区的各种语言，这增加了他们产生真实的影响的能力。
