The East / Central Europe Research Group at the Institute of Anthropology, Copenhagen University, is a group of teachers and students who have done (or are planning) fieldwork in the post-socialist societies from East Germany to Mongolia, from the Siberian Arctic to Central Asia.

The Research Group holds informal meetings about once a month, where we discuss ongoing projects, recount fieldwork experiences etc. The group also arranges regular lectures on the anthropology of post-socialism.

The group's purpose is to strengthen and stimulate research in this field. It participates in a wider, partly formalized Nordic and East European network (NECEN) of students and researchers with an interest in the region.

For more information, see the full description of the group, which includes a short history of the group, a list of group members, and an overview of our activities and plans.
