The length of the conference depends on the exact number of speakers. In the event of a large number of applications, we reserve the right to extend the conference also to Sunday, October 23, 2022.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄
The main focus of the conference is to discuss the key problems of war conflicts including their various dimensions: political, legal, economic, informational, environmental, humanitarian, migration-related, and more.
Presentations may be of an interdisciplinary nature, combining various fields of knowledge (e.g., law and politics, economy and environment, genocide and ecocide, disinformation and hybrid warfare, humanitarian crises and migration during war conflicts), but we also welcome topics which touch upon only *one* of the aforementioned disciplines.
