Its multi-level comparison encompasses smaller states in the EU and its neighbourhood, more specifically four EU countries (Ireland, Czech Republic, Greece and Sweden) and four neighbourhood states (Northern Ireland, Norway, North Macedonia and Georgia). The qualitative comparison uses expert interviews to identify barriers and enablers of using EU-derived rights as well as the experts' assessment of how practical the intended effects may be. In a second step, lay-persons perception of and experience with EU derived rights are explored by using visualised scenarios potentially relevant for the usage of economic/liberal, social and/or digital rights derived from EU Treaties or Association Agreements. Focus groups will be conducted as citizens' meetings mimicking citizens' assemblies.

Excellent academic communication skills are essential. While the working language of the project is English, additional knowledge of any of the languages of the target countries of our project will be an advantage.
