A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"

Eg. Tanza* or even *anza*
Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute

The goal of the panel is to present current research on Africa from Central European perspectives within an emerging Visegrad Africa Network – a new initiative to coordinate existing African research and development project agenda in Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) and to lay foundations of a future joint centre on African issues.
The panel will focus on analysing bottom-up transformation activities (especially transition mechanism of local governance, justice and civilian participation and their possibilities to reach real societal change after years of oppressive regimes, open or structural violence). Although the examined processes demand to concentrate on local level, the panel will cope also with regional and international situation which could boost, facilitate or hamper local initiatives.
The transition period, as for the countries emerging from the violent conflict or oppressive regime, demonstrates vital importance for their next evolution and the quality of life of ordinary citizens. As the newly enlarged EU encompasses also Member States with transition experience toward democratic regimes, it would be useful to analyse the transitional know how of Central European countries possibly implemented outside the European continent, in conditions of sub-Saharan Africa. And so enrich the EU aid and peace agenda to transition experience.
