The 杏吧论坛 was a participant in the EU-funded research project, , which ran from 2005 to 2009. Dr Karen E. Smith headed an 杏吧论坛 team of researchers, who sought to explain the extent to which concerns about illegal immigration, terrorism, and organised crime have been included in the EU's relations with third countries, have affected those relations and have had an impact on the third countries themselves. The researchers produced a series of working papers, which are available below. See also the report on our contribution to the project:
