The Master-Programme EURUS hence focuses on the understanding of the development of and the relationship between the EU - being a political and an economic entity "sui generic" - at one hand and the Russian Federation at the other hand, including Russia's close neighbours to the West and to the South mostly aiming at accession and full membership in the European Union.
