Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the pressing need for research that can help to explain what is going on in the country. Firm knowledge of language, history, culture and politics are necessary constituents of a satisfactory understanding of the situation in Ukraine. For people who have been affected by the war and its countless consequences, knowledge and skills in, e.g., War medicine and Trauma care are essential. The war also leaves its mark on the environment and therefore ecological perspectives are also necessary.

In a future where peace reigns in the country, issues concerning the laws of armed conflict, reconciliation, the role of civil society, language policy and architectural reconstruction will be central.

Invited external keynote speakers

Per-Arne Bodin, Professor of Slavic languages and expert on Ukrainian literature, Stockholm University
Jakob Hedenskog, Analyst and Expert on Ukraine, Stockholm Centre for East European Studies at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs
