Democratic Resilience in the making?

The Civil Sphere in Central and Eastern Europe

Aula– Campus, University of Vienna
Spitalgasse 2, Hof 1.11, 1090 Vienna

Diskussion, Round Table


We now live in times marked by democratic erosion, resurgent nationalism, and increasing pressure on journalistic and academic freedom. These are dire challenges for the civil sphere in Central and Eastern Europe. How are intellectuals, activists, and institutions navigating this climate of growing authoritarianism and contested claims to truth? This roundtable brings together leading scholars in the CEE region to reflect on these fault lines. Join us for an engaging discussion that bridges academic debate and public concern.
