State and Society Under Pressure: Internal and External Dynamics
WHEN: 11 Nov. 09.00 – 12.00
WHERE: OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, Pilestredet 46
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the public part of the annual UKRAINETT+ Conference, titled “State and Society Under Pressure: Internal and External Dynamics.”
This year we marked four years since Russia launched its full‑scale invasion of Ukraine, and twelve years since Russia annexed Crimea and began its war in Eastern Ukraine. During this entire period, but particularly since 2022, national and local authorities in Ukraine — as well as Ukrainian society as a whole — have had to cope with several crises simultaneously unleashed by the war. These crises come on top of the serious challenges Ukraine faces even without war.
Foreign support is crucial for the ability of Ukraine to maintain its defence and to succeed in rebuilding after the damage inflicted on the country by Russia. However, the international environment has changed significantly over the last few years and has become more unpredictable. These shifts influence how willing and able other states are to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes”.
At this fourth UKRAINETT conference experts and scholars will explore key challenges currently facing Ukraine’s state and society under continued and multifaceted pressure. The conference will address both the external dynamics shaping Ukraine’s position in an evolving international arena, and the internal developments and transformations unfolding within the country.
We invite decision-makers, practitioners, stakeholders and others interested in Ukraine to take part.
As on-site capacity is limited, we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your place at the conference. We look forward to welcoming you to OsloMet in November for an engaging conference!
