EU Integration Prospects for Ukraine and Belarus: Assessing the future

and the invite you to our conference “EU Integration Prospects for Ukraine and Belarus: Assessing the future”.

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine brought severe security, political and societal challenges to eastern Europe, demanding a constructive response from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and others. The invasion has hastened Ukraine’s EU accession prospects, while the Belarusian democracy movement has made a clear choice in favour of an EU future.

The conference will be a special opportunity for participants to exchange novel ideas, challenge existing thinking, and advance the key strategic discussions. It will showcase novel research and facilitate network building. Speakers will include representatives from the UK parliament and FCDO, European institutions, and experts on and from both Ukraine and Belarus. We are glad to invite you to this unique event.
