International conference organised by the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM), the Institute of European Integration and Regional Studies at the Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University and the Center for the Study of Conflict & Peace at the University of Osnabrück.

Questions after the unjustified attack of the Russian Federation against Ukraine developed from “how could we let this happen” through “what can we do to help” to “when will it end”? As the war is ongoing for almost four months, three institutions from Chernivtsi, Osnabrück and Vienna brought together experts to discuss the war  in Ukraine as well as its implications for the wider Danube Region.
