Our center attended the PEACE Research Community Europe conference at the Parliament in Brussels. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, experts in peace and security gathered to discuss key challenges and future research directions. PCRC presented its work at the Local Peace panel, focusing on post-conflict storytelling, transitional justice, and youth engagement in the Western Balkans. The event provided an important opportunity for dialogue with policymakers, researchers, and civil society.
