The European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine announces the international interdisciplinary roundtable “The Market After Fracture: Specialization, Power, and New Centers of Influence,” which will take place on July 10–11, 2026, at 8:00 PM EEST / 1:00 PM EDT. The roundtable will bring together researchers and experts in economics, political science, criminology, urban studies, sociology, business strategy, and digital transformation to discuss a central question of the present moment: who gains influence when universal centers lose their ability to organize society, markets, security, and governance?

• What does market fracture mean in the modern political-economic system: a temporary crisis, a shift in the economic cycle, or a transition to a new model of governance?
• Why are universal centers — digital platforms, corporations, state models, megacities, and mass markets — losing the ability to hold society and the economy in their previous form?
• How should science, urban systems, state institutions, and expert communities act when the old rules of scaling, trust, security, and governance stop working?
• How does power over the individual change when attention, choice, routes, political reactions, trust, and social behavior are distributed across different digital, urban, and institutional environments?
• Can specialization become not only a business strategy, but also a new form of social, economic, political, and criminal control?
• How should science, urban systems, state institutions, and expert communities act when the old rules of scaling, trust, security, and governance stop working?

The EUASU organizing committee cordially invites scholars and practitioners to an international and interdisciplinary four-day Conference held on 8–11 December. The event will focus on cultural codes, their influence, and their interconnectedness across social, communicative, and political domains.  The conference aims to provide a shared space for dialogue and exchange among researchers working within diverse academic traditions.

• What is a cultural code? What is its definition and how does it take shape?
• The cultural code as a prism of perception: the pros and cons.
• Ethnic turbulence: contemporary challenges.
• Cultural code as a lever for implementing change: what can we actually do?
• The influence of cultural codes on media and communication systems is explored through the lens of Baudrillard's legacy.
• The role of media and social networks in the "construction" of cultural codes: what should we prepare for?

The European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (EUASU) is pleased to announce the upcoming international roundtable titled "Strike with the Deadliest Manner Possible: What’s Next?", scheduled for May 26, 2025.

• The book review: most valuable scientific contribution of the "Strike the deadliest manner possible"
• May this kind of book influence the future?
• The evolution of war crimes: what's next

Institute of Sociological Studies of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, and the European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine cordially invite you to a Conference held in Prague on 6-7 June, 2024. The conference aims to strengthen the knowledge base on the consequences of the conflict in Ukraine in local and global contexts, to report on how the world is radically changing in response to the war, and to discuss and communicate this enhanced knowledge base to the wider public. Our conference will provide a platform for discussing these findings with Ukrainian scholars studying social transformations directly in Ukraine, Ukrainians living outside of Ukraine, and scholars studying these social, economic, and political issues in other countries, especially in the Czech Republic and other Central and Eastern European countries. The conference in Prague also welcomes academicians from around the globe for a scholarly exploration that promises to provide fresh insights and spark dynamic conversations about urgent issues primarily from the sociological and social anthropological point of view.

• What are the current and future geopolitical threats of the war for the global community?
• What is the purpose behind the war in Ukraine? (What is the war in Ukraine for?)
• How have diasporas from Ukraine impacted the nation itself and the receiving nations?
• What has been the impact of the war on academic agencies?
• What are the new topics and challenges for Ukrainian scholars and scholars of Ukraine?
• What future challenges, such as reconstruction and development, will Ukraine face?
• National minorities in Ukraine and their migration
• Religion and war. How did the Ukrainians' worldview change during the war?
• The work of the law enforcement system of Ukraine during the war. Ukraine's reconstruction after the war and rise of criminality.

The conference "Unknown Wars" is dedicated to the concept of global threats and phenomena directly bonded to them. The events of recent years have demonstrated that major changes are happening with more frequency. We live in the context of global threats: hybrid wars, epidemics, pandemics, political and economic crises, and military conflicts. On the other hand, global threats set a whole chain of subsequent transformations in motion, and this process does not stop. All this demands entirely new approaches in business/security/production/science and other sectors that satisfy the parameters of our current times. An individual who finds himself in the context of a global threat becomes a consequence of this "unknown war." In such circumstances, the "rules of the game" are unknown, there are no precise forecasts, and the main question becomes "what to do?" However, to find the answer, it is critical to understand what we are in fact dealing with. For this purpose, the European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine organized an international interdisciplinary conference, "Unknown Wars," which will address the problems of global threats on an academic level.

• Current global threats: reasons for their existence and ways to rank/classify them
• Founders of theories for neutralizing/combating global threats
• Crises and emergencies, pandemics, war: what will happen next?
• Political marketing as a permitted criminal phenomenon
• What is going on in the world right now? Prognosis. What will happen next?
• How to endure global transformations and benefit from them
• Game with no rules: how to live in a system where rules and regulations have ceased to be effective?
• Can modern science continue its existence in the same form, or does it need fundamental changes?
• The virtual versus the real: what will prevail during the current war and why?
• What new phenomena are we not yet ready for, but will have to face in a new global setting?
