The world is currently facing turbulent times. The ongoing war in Ukraine has worldwide implications. It is crucial to understand the current and future challenges that spring out of this war and to draw possible scenarios and develop strategies to ensure a secure future for Ukraine and the whole of Europe.
The goal of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together researchers studying Ukraine from Norway, Ukraine, and
worldwide, and encourage discussion on key areas such as business, economy, governance, law, linguistics, migration, politics, sociology, and many more.
