The keynote speaker of the event is Mark Kramer, Director of Cold War studies at Harvard University and senior fellow at Harvard’s Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.

The conference will be organized in collaboration with the European Institute at Columbia University, New York. Our cooperation with this prestigious institute has lasted since 2017.

In addition, in 8 themed panels, 32 students from 10 countries, including top universities like the London School of Economics, University of Graz, University of Northumbria, University of Aberdeen, Central European University, etc., will actively participate in the event.

As was the case with our previous conferences, this year’s conference will also focus on the Cold War era in general and on the post-Cold War period.
