Eastern Mediterranean University and Adam Mickiewicz University organize an international scientific conference devoted to current challenges in international security as part of many years of bilateral cooperation. The conference is the result of fruitful and extensive collaboration between researchers of our universities especially those focusing on security studies, the contemporary international relations as well as political science.
During the first edition, we intend to organize four discussion panels in which leading researchers and practitioners will be able to speak on the most important, current challenges at the four security levels. Among the proposed areas for discussion are global aspects of international security, European security, security issues in Central Eastern Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. The dynamics of changes in the international system require that those interested in international issues have a better orientation in an increasingly complex political reality. Our goal is to provide researchers, students, and everyone else with access to expert knowledge and to promote international cooperation, respect, and a culture of dialogue.
In connection with the above, we are pleased to officially invite you to participate in our event as a panelist on ... We will be very honored if our proposal is accepted. For our part, we provide all necessary technical support. The event will be hosted online using Zoom platform on Wednesday November 17, 2021. At the same time, we will be obliged if you could confirm your participation in our event.
We're looking forward to the joint international conference and hope to meet you there!
