On a scale unseen in Europe since the Second World War, this war is turning Ukraine into a major geopolitical theater, where the architecture of European politics and security is being redefined, in a context itself marked by the upheaval of international balances.

At the same time, it is becoming imperative to reflect on the challenges of rebuilding and transforming Ukraine, with a view to its integration into the European Union, set up as a priority by Ukrainian and European authorities.

In this context, the Inalco Foundation and the Robert Schuman Foundation propose to bring together Ukrainian, French and European diplomats, political and military leaders and researchers to shed light on the security architecture in Europe and the reconstruction-transformation of Ukraine.

The aim of the symposium will be to identify themes to be explored in greater depth, and approaches to dealing with them, in a context where war makes realities on the ground shifting, access to information difficult, and requires direct and regular contact with sources.
