# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ninth Leonidas Donskis Memorial Conference
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: The Ninth Leonidas Donskis Memorial Conference invites scholars, policymakers, students, and all those interested in the future of Europe to reflect on one of the defining questions of our time:

Can small and mid-sized states remain merely objects of geopolitical competition, or can they become active participants in shaping the international order?

As geopolitical uncertainty grows and international alliances are increasingly tested, the conference will explore how smaller nations can strengthen their position through cooperation, cultural ties, intellectual networks, and shared values. Drawing on the legacy of Leonidas Donskis, the discussions will examine whether solidarity can become not only a moral principle, but also a strategic advantage in a changing world.

The programme will address:
• Small and Mid-Sized States in a World of Uncertainty
• Solidarity as Strategy
• Culture and Identity as Geopolitical Anchors
• Strategic Choices: Alone or Together?

The conference will bring together distinguished scholars and experts from across Europe, including Edward Lucas, Rick Fawn, Natasha Kuhrt, Iver B. Neumann, Domitilla Sagramoso, Emilija Pundziūtė-Gallois, Craig Oliphant, Karel B. Müller, Thibault Fouillet, Viktoras Bachmetjevas, and others.

Join us for a day of discussion on geopolitics, culture, democracy, and the future of small states in an increasingly uncertain world.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.
