Dr. Musialkowska and Dr. Talaga, the 2016 ESC and ULS Summer Research Scholars, will be presenting an update on their research in Pitt’s Barbara Sloan EU Depository Collection. Dr. Musialkowska’s research focuses on EU-Latin America dialogue on territorially-oriented development policies. Dr. Talaga’s research focuses on the evolution of legal character of decisions on state aid in the European Union. Both of this year’s summer scholars have come to Pitt from Poznan University in Poland. The Summer Research Scholars Program is a joint initiative by the ESC and the University Library System to award travel grants to two scholars per year working on topics relevant to European integration and for whom access to the unique archival collections housed at the University of Pittsburgh would prove beneficial. Dr. Musialkowska and Dr. Talaga were selected as Summer Research Scholars for a four week visit to Pitt and this session provides staff, faculty, and students with an opportunity to see how their research is progressing to date.
