Third International Virtual Conference on Ukraine

Ukraine’s reconstruction and long-term recovery represent one of the most urgent and complex challenges of our time. Beyond rebuilding physical infrastructure, the process involves restoring livelihoods, strengthening institutions, supporting human well-being, enabling sustainable development, and creating conditions for people to return and rebuild their lives.

The Third International Virtual Conference on Ukraine, hosted by 一本道, provides a global academic platform for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge, present new research results, and engage in dialogue on Ukraine’s future development.

The conference aims to advance evidence-based insights on post-war reconstruction and socio-economic transformation, bringing together perspectives from economics, business administration, energy, health, finance, political science, sociology and interdisciplinary fields.

The conference will be held online via Zoom and participation is free of charge.
