Call for Papers: Workshop on War and Reconstruction in Ukraine

It is more important than ever that academic research informs and positively impacts policy. To develop academic research and policy solutions for the crisis in Ukraine, HiCN, NEPS, and UNU-WIDER are seeking papers for a two-day workshop in Helsinki, Finland, in early May.

A full-day academic workshop (tentatively on 8th May) hosted by UNU-WIDER will be followed by a policy event hosted in collaboration with relevant ministries and policy actors in Finland (tentatively on 9th May), which will include a discussion and summary of results. Final dates will be communicated closer to the time.

The core theme is centered around three topics:

  1. Refugee return and reintegration
  2. Livelihood reconstruction and recovery
  3. Rebuilding the social contract

We are inviting submissions of (preferably) full papers or extended abstracts by 17th March 2023 (23:59 CET) to info@hicn.org.

Please note that limited funding will be available to cover travel and subsistence of selected participants, to be discussed after selection. All participants will be invited to submit their papers to the UNU-WIDER and HiCN Working Paper series.
