Ukraine Recovery Confer­ence: “It’s about urgent recon­struc­tion of the blood veins for the country”

As a result of the Russian war of aggres­sion against Ukraine, Eastern European countries are stepping up their efforts to join the EU. At our inter­na­tional confer­ence on 13 November, we will be discussing the oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges of the current EU enlarge­ment policy with inter­na­tional experts.

Given the level of violence and hostility since 7 October, a political solution to the Israeli-Pales­­tinian conflict seems a long way off. At the same time, it is more urgent than ever. Together with experts from the region, a new LibMod project aims to explore the oppor­tu­ni­ties for a two-state solution and for security and coop­er­a­tion in the Middle East. 

In the face of multiple crises and a depressing world situation, it is not surprising that many non-fiction books from this fall are deeply pessimistic. Unlike “On Freedom” by US historian Timothy Snyder. Our author Till Schmidt spoke with him about his latest book.
