at AMU. ENS scholars and students focus on understanding and
reflexively shaping the interrelationship between Europe- an
society and digital technologies. The ENS is located at the
Collegium Polonicum, a joint German-Polish academic
institution which is being maintained by the EUV and the AMU
and which aims at cross-border and forward-looking cooperation
in research and teaching in the European twin city Frankfurt
(Oder)–Słubice.
