International Conference: “Belarus and Belarusians in the Time of Geopolitical Insecurities: Global Perceptions and Domestic Realities”

📅 September 11–12, 2025
📍 VU TSPMI, Vilnius

Five years after the 2020 protests and three years since the war in Ukraine began, Belarus remains at the crossroads of repression and geopolitics. This international conference will bring together scholars, policymakers, and experts to reflect on the transformation of the Belarusian state and society, the role of diaspora and exiled leadership, and the broader regional security challenges.

Highlights include keynote speeches by prof. Antoaneta L. Dimitrova and prof. David R. Marples, a roundtable with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and Kęstutis Budrys, 10 academic panels, Belarus Research Network for Neighborhood Policy expert discussion, and the launch of the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Belarus.
