I was invited to the workshop “Historical Epistemology of Central, East and Southeast European Studies” at the Institute of Slavic Studies at LMU Munich (Germany) in October 2023.

In July 2023, I participated in the Strategic Foresight for EU Enlargement and Neighborhood Consortium hosted by Polish think-tank Visegrad Insight and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius in Germany.
