The Center for European Neighborhood Studies (CENS) held its workshop entitled “Embedding Democratic Values: The Role of Civic Education and Media in Democratization” on March 21, 2016, in Chisinau, Moldova.

Increasing volatility in the European Union has a strong influence on enlargement. In order to respond to recent changes across Europe, from March 2016, the Center for EU Enlargement Studies will be known as the Center for European Neighborhood Studies, while keeping its established acronym - CENS. It will retain its focus on EU enlargement, however, its change in name also brings a revision of its mission.
