The main focus of the conference is to discuss the key problems of war conflicts including their various dimensions: political, legal, economic, informational, environmental, humanitarian, migration-related, and more.
Presentations may be of an interdisciplinary nature, combining various fields of knowledge (e.g., law and politics, economy and environment, genocide and ecocide, disinformation and hybrid warfare, humanitarian crises and migration during war conflicts), but we also welcome topics which touch upon only *one* of the aforementioned disciplines.
