IHD Forum 2024 | IHD UCU

Wartime necessitates reevaluating critical aspects of societal organization at both local and international levels. It demands an integrated approach combining political, economic, social, cultural, and legal dimensions to ensure future security, development, and a just peace.

This year's Forum on Integral Human Development convenes public intellectuals, researchers, civic activists, and professionals to discuss security challenges, local community recovery, legal system relevance, public culture, and a new public ethic.

Initiated in 2019, the Annual Forum on Integral Human Development is a joint effort by the International Institute of Ethics and Contemporary Issues, the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Ukrainian Catholic University, and the UCU Analytical Center. The Forum's primary goal is to promote fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue across various knowledge fields regarding pressing social issues, with a specific emphasis on the concept of "integral human development."
