The 6 Student Conference on International Relations_Abstracts

The 6th Student Conference on International Relations (SCIR) is a two-day academic event that was held on 7–8 May 2026 at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, organized by the Chair and Centre of International Relations at FDV UL in partnership with the Student Association for International Relations, Globallis. As an instrument of EUTOPIA’s Connected Community “Maintaining International Peace and Security,” the conference brings together Bachelor’s and Master’s students from the wider IR field to critically engage with contemporary global challenges through thematic panels, peer feedback, and dialogue with established researchers and university teachers. Set against a backdrop of intersecting crises—climate change, technological disruption, erosion of academic freedoms, and ongoing conflicts—the conference positions student-led intellectual engagement as a form of resistance to autocratization, corruption, injustice, and polarization. It provides a simulated academic setting in which young scholars develop and practice scientific research and writing competences, present their work, and refine their academic knowledge through constructive recommendations from peers and senior academics. A specific aim is to foster academic collaboration between EU-based institutions and universities in the Western Balkans, thereby strengthening a growing network of early-career researchers committed to critical inquiry, solidarity, and innovation in International Relations.

6. študentska konferenca o mednarodnih odnosih (SCIR) je dvodnevni akademski dogodek, ki je potekal 7. in 8. maja 2026 na Fakulteti za družbene vede Univerze v Ljubljani, v organizaciji Katedre in Centra za mednarodne odnose FDV UL v partnerstvu s Študentskim združenjem za mednarodne odnose Globallis. Kot instrument Povezane skupnosti EUTOPIA „Ohranjanje mednarodnega miru in varnosti" konferenca združuje dodiplomske in podiplomske študente s širšega področja mednarodnih odnosov, da bi se skozi tematske panele, povratne informacije vrstnikov in dialog z uveljavljenimi raziskovalci in univerzitetnimi učitelji kritično soočali s sodobnimi globalnimi izzivi. V kontekstu prepletajočih se kriz – podnebnih sprememb, tehnoloških motenj, kršenja akademskih svoboščin in tekočih konfliktov – konferenca postavlja študentsko vodeno intelektualno angažiranost kot obliko odpornosti proti avtokratizaciji, korupciji, nepravici in polarizaciji. Zagotavlja simulirano akademsko okolje, v katerem mladi raziskovalci razvijajo in urijo kompetence znanstvenega raziskovanja in pisanja, predstavljajo svoja dela ter poglabljajo akademsko znanje s konstruktivnimi priporočili vrstnikov in starejših akademikov. Poseben cilj je spodbujati akademsko sodelovanje med institucijami iz EU in univerzami v zahodnem Balkanu ter s krepiti rastoče omrežje raziskovalcev na začetku kariere, zavezanih kritičnemu raziskovanju, solidarnosti in inovativnosti na področju mednarodnih odnosov.
