Everything you need to know to submit an article — formats, themes, formatting requirements, and how to send your manuscript.
Articles should contribute to public understanding of one or more of the following areas:
In line with the Centre's nonpartisan nature, articles are expected to prioritise analysis and reflection over political actionism or partisan advocacy.
An Opinion Paper should advance a clear, well-reasoned argument on an issue relevant to EUAC's areas of work. Authors are expected to take an explicit position and support it with evidence, logical reasoning, and appropriate contextual analysis. The structure should guide the reader from problem definition through argumentation to a coherent conclusion, prioritising analytical depth over advocacy.
A Commentary should provide a concise and timely analysis of a recent development or event. Authors should focus on explaining context, assessing significance, and outlining immediate implications. The emphasis should be on clarity, relevance, and analytical insight rather than exhaustive coverage. Commentaries should be accessible to informed non-specialist audiences while maintaining analytical rigour.
A Policy Brief should be structured, evidence-based, and solution-oriented. Authors are expected to clearly define a specific policy challenge, provide concise contextual analysis, and present realistic options or recommendations. The writing should prioritise precision, feasibility, and relevance for policymakers and practitioners.
A Blog allows for a more flexible and reflective approach. Authors may adopt a narrative or exploratory tone while maintaining factual accuracy and analytical relevance. Blog contributions should aim to engage a broader audience, stimulate critical reflection, and connect individual observations to broader societal or policy considerations.
EU Unpacked is an educational format that explains how the European Union functions in practice. It breaks down complex EU institutions, policies, and decision-making processes into clear, understandable language, designed to improve public understanding of the EU particularly in EU-aspiring countries.
A fact-checking and analytical format designed to identify, expose, and correct misleading narratives, disinformation, and manipulation related to the European Union, democracy, and security. It systematically contrasts verified facts with false or distorted claims.
A Historical Perspective places contemporary political, societal, or security-related issues within a broader historical context. It examines past events and developments to illuminate current challenges and long-term trends affecting Europe and its neighbourhood.
A critical and analytical assessment of a recently published or influential book relevant to EUAC's areas of interest. It summarises the work's core arguments, evaluates its contribution, and situates it within broader debates. Book Reviews are reflective and balanced in tone.
An in-depth conversation with a scholar, policymaker, practitioner, or public intellectual whose expertise is relevant to EUAC's areas of interest. Interviews are structured to ensure clarity and coherence while keeping the interviewee's voice central.
Articles submitted to the EU Awareness Centre must be the author's original work and should not have been previously published. By accepting a paper, the EU Awareness Centre acquires the exclusive right to publish the work. While commonly known facts do not require citation, any assertion or claim should be supported by evidence.
Authors may choose either hyperlinked in-text citations (without footnotes or endnotes), or APA-style author–date citations with a reference list at the end. Whichever method is used must be applied consistently throughout the article.
Please note that the EU Awareness Centre does not provide financial compensation for unsolicited or non-commissioned articles.
We publish in Georgian, English, French, and German. Articles submitted in Georgian must include an extended annotation of 300–400 words in English. Georgian authors submitting in a language other than Georgian are required to provide an extended annotation in Georgian. Articles in French or German should include an annotation in English and, if authored by a Georgian contributor, also in Georgian.
Submissions in English may follow either British or American English. For consistency, all accepted articles will be edited and published in British English in line with the EU Awareness Centre's house style.
