The conference participants will involve scholars representing academic and research centres in Poland and abroad, journalists, politicians, and other experts interested in European issues, the European Union, and its relations with its immediate and broader surroundings. The conference will be held in Collegium Polonicum in Słubice, a joint research and teaching centre of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and European University Viadrina in Frankfurt on the Oder. The Collegium Polonicum building is located on the Polish side of this border river. The meeting in Słubice will provide a platform for presenting the results of studies into the contemporary problems of the Old Continent from the perspective of human rights. We would like, in particular, to discuss the issue of the utmost importance and topicality for inhabitants of Europe, namely Human Rights and the Rights of Nature and the Environment (e.g., animal rights movement, having a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right).

Another topic addressed by the participants of the IPSA RC26 panel will involve the restoration of an EU based on fundamental rights and respect for the rule of law within the EU’s community of values. It will also be an opportunity to explore the other key challenges for human rights in Europe in the current situation, e.g., human rights violations during the war in Ukraine. The language of the conference is Polish; however, the language of the IPSA RC26 panel will be English. Papers presented by speakers and the discussion during the plenary session in the course of the meeting will be simultaneously translated into English. The conference organisers will provide participants with accommodation and boarding and an opportunity to publish papers approved for print by reviewers. Due to restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference will be held in a hybrid mode.
