The 20th edition of the International Conference European Integration – Realities and Perspectives (EIRP) successfully concluded on May 17, 2025, reaffirming the role of Danubius International University as a global hub of academic reflection. Held in a hybrid format, the conference brought together participants from across the world to explore fundamental topics essential to understanding the contemporary world, under the overarching theme “Events and Crises Shaping the World in the 21st Century.” Through interdisciplinary approaches, the scientific presentations offered innovative perspectives and solutions related to key areas such as sustainable economics, current geopolitical dynamics, emerging technologies in education, and the challenges of international migration.
Dr. Anna Plechata Krausova, Chancellor of NEWTON University in Prague and an applied social scientist specializing in resilience, leadership, and global education policy—holding a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degree from the University of Oxford—emphasized in her address the critical importance of educational institutions’ adaptability in the face of global challenges. She underlined the essential role of educational leadership in advancing inclusive and sustainable learning systems.
Over the course of the two days, the scientific communication sessions were defined by genuine academic dialogue, supported by rigorous research and relevant case studies. EIRP 2025 not only provided a platform for disseminating research outcomes but also served as a lasting forum for fostering international cooperation, strengthening the academic community’s commitment to European values, high-quality education, and responsible innovation.
