Natalia Narotchnitskaya will speak in Russian with interpretation in French.
Relations between Russia and the West are embedded in a history which is rich in cultural exchanges and saturated with numerous political misunderstandings. This relationship, which is crucial for both parties, is increasingly confronted by profound differences in memory, for example regarding ‘The Great Patriotic War.' This conference aims to identify these differences, and suggests that in future dialogue will be played out partly through readings of the past, whether they are separate or shared.

Brussels, Germany, France and Italy Facing the Energy and Industrial Crises: Coordinated or Diverging Trajectories?
Amidst soaring defense spending, higher borrowing costs, erosion of energy intensive industries, renewed energy price hikes and possibly physical shortages, the European Union and its Member States are again struggling to stabilize the European economies. Governments are tempted by uncoordinated, short-term moves while in Brussels, there is a struggle between the “more of the same” and the “scrap it largely” approaches to the transition.
Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
