Conference venue: University of Bucharest, Rectorate Building, 90 Panduri Road (Șoseaua Panduri no. 90), Senate Room (groundfloor) and Council of Administration Room (1st floor)

Building on the scholarly input of the previous conferences in 2022 and 2023 (the latest gathering 72 participants from 24 countries), this year’s event delves into the regional consequences of the Russian war against Ukraine. While sharing a communist past with Ukraine and Russia, the vast majority of countries in Central and Eastern Europe detached from this legacy and opted for the Western model, integrating into the EU and NATO.  Considering this and the current events, the conference aims to explore and assess how the war in Ukraine influenced the region so far, what tendencies it brought in politics, economics, culture, and society as a whole, and what these developments forecast for Central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, the conference seeks to debate the means, plans, and preliminary results among the countries in Central and Eastern Europe in becoming more resilient and assume a bigger voice in continental security and European affairs in general. Nonetheless, considering its importance for the main focus of the conference, special attention will be granted to the forces that led to the current events, but also to the war itself, its unfolding, the difficulties within Ukraine, as well as in the Russian ranks. The conference also aims to examine the topic of Ukraine’s reconstruction, as a whole-of-society process, considering in parallel the economic spill over in Central and Eastern Europe.
