We mogen inmiddels van een gevestigde traditie spreken, de jaarlijkse Studiedag van Levende Talen Russisch. Voor 2024 staat weer een prachtig programma voor u klaar, dit keer zelfs met een plenaire lezing in het Russisch.

The seminar intends to bring a broad range of research disciplines together to discuss the effects of the Russian war against Ukraine on the agricultural sector in Ukraine, the EU, and non-EU countries. Further, the seminar aims at discussing the results of the scenario analyses of the economic impact of a further integration of Ukraine into European agri-food markets. The seminar offers a platform to exchange ideas and generate an integrated view of agricultural potential, value chain development, and public policy in the broad European context. The seminar primarily addresses the scientific community but is also open to decision-makers in business, politics, and NGOs, including the donor community.

Our one-day symposium “OSINT: From Theory, Intelligence to Evidence”, will take place at the Leiden University’s Wijnhaven campus (The Hague) on the 14 June 2024. This event is compiled of two panels – “From Theory to Intelligence” and “From Intelligence to Evidence”, which will merge the theoretical foundations of OSINT with insights into its application as actionable evidence. The emphasis will be on investigating core international crimes committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you’re interested in attending, we ask you to please register at our website. We hope to see you there!

Five experts from flagship Ukrainian regional museums share their experiences on their changing roles and narrational perspectives during and after wartime.

Europe and Central Asia are linked by decades of commodity trade, but also by developing climate cooperation. Yet Central Asia plays a limited role in the European public debate on global climate change and energy transition. Both global and local energy transitions pose significant challenges for Central Asia, given its rapidly growing population, ageing infrastructure, heavy dependence on fossil fuels and climate change. At the same time, the transition to renewable energy and the development of hydrogen production and net zero value chains offer new opportunities for all countries in the region. The conference is designed to attract a broad audience, including researchers, policy makers and members of civil society.

On March 29, 2004, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia formally acceded to NATO in what was the biggest enlargement round in the history of the Alliance. Since then, the seven countries, which represent much of NATO‘s eastern flank, have contributed extensively to the implementation of NATO‘s core tasks and policy priorities, and to this day remain among the most active and supportive members of the Alliance. Since Lithuania hosted the NATO Summit in 2023 and the Netherlands are poised to host one in 2025, this event will provide a unique opportunity to combine an anniversary celebration and a focused discussion on the past, present and future of the North Atlantic Alliance. This event, therefore, will focus both on highlighting the impact of the 2004 enlargement, as well as the challenges NATO faces on its eastern flank and how the Alliance can face those.
