Travel Information Hub
The European Centre for Advanced Studies is committed to strengthening the academic partnership between Scotland and Lower Saxony. In the Post-Brexit era, the exchange and collaboration as well as the dissemination of information across borders is more important than ever. As a symbol of the European idea, ECAS aims to build bridges in times of separation. In order to fulfil our role as a link between both regions, relevant details about Brexit and the accompanying travel regulations will be published on this page.
