A collaborative project between two School students, Gergo Medve-Balint and Sara Svensson, has led to an article being published in Journal of Borderlands Studies, a 25-year-old interdisciplinary journal devoted to studies related to borders and borderlands. The article is entitled Diversity and Development: Policy Entrepreneurship of Euroregional Initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe, and is based on the authors' empirical research at the Hungarian-Slovak border.
Medve-Balint also has a chapter on the topic of local cross-border co-operation in Central Europe in the recently published volume on Europe's Changing Geography -The Impact of Inter-Regional Networks (edited by Nicola Bellini and Ulrich Hilpert, Routledge, 2013). Medve-Balint and Svensson has previously published work on cross-border cooperation in the prestigious Ashgate series on border studies and in 2011 their research won the Pálfi István Award granted by the Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives and the Pálfi István Foundation.
