Hosted by the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) at the Stockholm School of Economics, the event highlights how collaboration, research, and policy innovation can accelerate Ukraine’s sustainable recovery.

Exploring Key Challenges and Opportunities

Ukraine stands at a crucial crossroads in its path toward stability and prosperity. Therefore, the conference focuses on governance, demographics, and energy as pillars for building a more resilient society. Moreover, discussions will emphasize how effective policy and regional collaboration can support Ukraine’s long-term integration with Europe.

  • Public Administration for Reconstruction and European Integration – The discussion will focus on modern governance reforms essential for rebuilding trust and efficiency.

Keynote Insight: Sanctions and the Russian Economy
