The purpose of the conference is to foster collaboration and to encourage exchange of ideas between young researchers representing different countries and research traditions as well as varied historical and cultural backgrounds. The expectation is to create a forum where diverse approaches and perspectives on international relations could be voiced and discussed thus widening the scope of understanding and interpretation of this broad sphere as well as evaluating and questioning the current state of International Relations. The participants are encouraged to explore the notions of sovereignty, security, and human rights.
