Jury Has Begun Evaluation

We are grateful to all participants for their trust in our project! An expert jury comprising leading diplomats, scholars, and academics in international relations has already begun reviewing the submissions. In June, 10 finalists will be invited to Kyiv for an in-person stage. We will keep you updated.

As a reminder, the competition was launched as a joint initiative of the Foundation and the Institute of International Relations of KNU. As we previously wrote, the competition topic addresses one of the key questions in contemporary international security — the legal basis and feasibility of revoking Russia’s seat at the UN.

Summer School “Roots and Wings”

We also announce that the Foundation has opened applications for the Summer School “Roots and Wings: History That Unites” («Корені та крила: історія, яка об’єднує»). More details about the programme are available on our website.
