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. Through keynote addresses, academic panels, and practice-oriented roundtables, participants explored ways to address these challenges effectively.
