Fifteenth International Sakharov Conference : Pulling Back from the Abyss

🌎 Fifteenth International Sakharov Conference
📍 Palace of the Grand Dukes, Vilnius
🗓️ May 21-22, 2025
The world order built after WWII is crumbling. Russia’s war against Ukraine has reshaped global politics, challenging European security, transatlantic relations, and the role of international institutions. Authoritarian governance is on the rise, deepening the global political crisis.
This year’s Sakharov Conference will explore:
- The impact of the war in Ukraine beyond Europe
- The decline of democracy and rise of authoritarianism
- Global security challenges and shifting alliances
- The role of young experts in shaping the future
Bringing together leading scholars, policymakers, and young voices, the conference will feature expert panels, discussions, and exclusive sessions under Chatham House Rule.
