The October 2025 edition of the ValEUs Newsletter highlights a month rich in activities and collaborations across the network — from the Policy Writing Workshop in Banja Luka and the Second Annual ValEUs Conference in Zagreb to the upcoming Civil Society Debate in Poznań.
Hosted by Libertas International University and the University of Zagreb, the Second Annual ValEUs Conference “State (In)Stability and EU Foreign Policy” (2–4 October) brought together over 40 scholars from around the world. The conference opened with a keynote discussion between Ivo Josipović and Mykhailo Minakov, combining academic insight and political practice in a compelling reflection on Europe’s current challenges.
Just days earlier, the ValEUs Policy Writing Workshop in Banja Luka (29 September – 1 October) gathered students and researchers for hands-on sessions on policy brief writing, featuring expert input from Professor Müge Kökten Finkel (University of Pittsburgh).
Looking ahead, join the ValEUs Civil Society Debate “Strengthening Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe: Democratic Innovations as a Response to Contestations of EU Values” on 6 November 2025, 13:15 (CET), hosted by Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań — both onsite and via live stream.
