Room

The world is undergoing a profound transformation. War is no longer an exception but a renewed political strategy, democracy faces existential threats, and the media, once a force for accountability, has become a battleground for truth. As global powers recalibrate their positions in an increasingly fragmented world, Iran stands at a critical juncture, shaped by both internal struggles and external pressures.

Organized by Iran Academia (Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities – ISSH), this event provides a unique intellectual platform where scholars, journalists, and thinkers critically engage with the complexities of peace, democracy, and media. This gathering offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the emerging world order and its impact on Iran—inside the country and across its diaspora.

  • Date: 19 & 20 June
  • Location: Leiden University, Schouwburgstraat, Auditorium A0.06
