We are happy to announce that the Conference’s keynote lecture will be delivered by Professor Dimitry Kochenov of the Central European University, who leads the Rule of Law Workgroup at CEU Democracy Institute. The lecture is entitled ‘The Many Faces of the Fight for the Rule of Law’.

In addition to Prof Kochenov’s address, the conference will host various panels and workshops, with experts presenting their work on various topics within populist studies.
