The conference will take place on June 17-18 in Athens, bringing together politicians, experts, prime ministers, former heads of state and PMs, European commissioners, academicians from Europe, Balkans and beyond.

Eight conference panels will focus on regional developments and the role of international organizations in the promotion of peace, climate crisis and green agenda, European and Greek economy, Europe's future, and ways to cope with the extreme right.
