We launched this series in March 2022, focusing on the various issues related to the war in Ukraine and believing that at a time when we are dominated by the news, we need to think in categories at least medium-term and, if possible, long-term.

Due to the rapidly changing situation, the Warsaw European Forum is taking a different form. Instead of one long conference we decided to organize several online discussions, which will take place in March, April and May. Each event will focus on a different issue related to the main theme and will hopefully provide a long-term perspective on this war, which at the moment is mostly talked about in immediate terms.
