On 15-17 June 2023, Vytautas Magnus University hosted the international conference "Turning Points: values and conflicting futures in the Baltic States". The biennial conference, which focuses on research on the Baltic region in Europe, brought together academics from all over the world to explore a range of issues relevant to this part of the continent. The rich, intensive three-day programme includes more than 100 expert and roundtable discussions and book presentations on a wide range of topics. Speakers discussed the most important advances in Baltic research and the most pressing issues of the day. A number of presentations focused on the war in Ukraine, as this is a topic that receives the most attention in different academic fields.
