Third Annual ValEUs Conference 2026
The Third Annual ValEUs Conference, hosted by European University Viadrina from 29 September to 2 October 2026, brought together scholars, policymakers, students, and representatives of civil society to reflect on the network’s work and develop societal strategies and policy recommendations to safeguard the EU’s foundational values amid increasingly complex and volatile political realities, both within and beyond the Union.
