Knowledge as Resistance: Student Perspectives on Power, Crisis and Change in the International Community

In a world marked by series of crises, from climate change, technological disruption, to the erosion of academic freedoms and ongoing conflicts, students more frequently speak against autocratization, corruption, injustice and polarization of the world. Such actions are not confined only to the streets or digital platforms, they are also cultivated through critical dialogue and intellectual engagement within universities, study groups and book clubs.

For the sixth consecutive year, the student conference has sought to provide a platform for young researchers who wish to critically engage with today’s international challenges while exploring opportunities for solidarity, healing, and innovation.
