Cornell Daily Sun coverage of the celebration on April 1

Europe in the World: Perspectives on Communities is a competition and exhibition designed to stimulate and reward student scholarship and creative work that addresses European identities and communities — within Europe and in relation to globalization.

Student entries will be on display in Olin Library through summer 2013.

Europe in the World is funded by the Cornell Institute for European Studies and Cornell University Library.

The contest elicited entries from undergraduate and graduate students across disciplines, which are exhibited in Olin Library. Inspired by the European Commission’s 2013 European Year of Citizens theme, the contest invited entries that consider cultural or social expression of identity, community, or relationship in Europe, or European migration or immigration, through vehicles such as visual arts, music, theatre, literature, architecture, data visualizations, or spatial or demographic analysis. Submissions were strongly encouraged to utilize or evince inquiry into digital or mixed media or digital tools or resources, available through various sources including the Cornell University Library.
