The symposium aims to bring together leading experts and stakeholders to develop integrated, actionable strategies that address the complex challenges of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. It is a collaborative platform to exchange ideas, share best practices, and develop policy solutions for Ukraine’s recovery. Combining international expertise and local knowledge, it builds a knowledge base addressing immediate needs while laying foundations for a resilient and equitable future. Ongoing reports and academic publications ensure these insights inform policy and practice, advancing sustainable post-war development.
Each day features two parallel tracks, allowing participants to join one track per day:
Day 1:
- Policy, regulations, and reforms for net-zero Ukraine
- (Re)construction industry, technologies, and processes
Day 2:
- Land use and spatial planning
- Investment for net-zero transition
Each track includes a series of lectures, presentations, and moderated panels with diverse stakeholders. Detailed information about each track will be announced soon on the event page.
❗ Offline (in-person) participation capacity is limited—participants are encouraged to choose their preferred track carefully.
