Association with the EU and What Next? In September 2017 the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine entered into force. The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) has lost its temporary status and, as a consequence, a quick growth of turnovers is to be expected. The cooperation between Kiev and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is developing. Yet, the future of relationships between Ukraine and the structures of the Western countries is still not clear. As demanded by Netherlands, the perspective of Ukraine’s membership in the EU is not explicitly mentioned. Germany, France and Italy are against Ukraine joining NATO, while Poland and Hungary have made some reservations regarding Ukraine’s historical and educational policies.

The Role of Ukrainian Diaspora in Building the European Economy For the last few years many specialists and workers from Ukraine have emigrated to the European Union in search of employment.

Partner: Our Choice Foundation Ukrainians in European Countries. Science, Work, Economics The Ukrainian diaspora exists right now in almost every European country. The reason for this is a difficult financial situation in Ukraine and rapidly growing opportunities to travel, work and study abroad. The situation of Ukrainians and their activities outside Ukraine is diverse. Are stereotypes about Ukrainians abroad fair? What is their real life situation? What effect do the Ukrainians living abroad have on the image of their country? What role do foreign Ukrainians play in the life of Ukraine?

Medical Tourism - Do We Need Foreign Pa- tients or Do They Need Us? Medical tourism, next to spa and wellness tourism, is an element of health tourism. The goal of incoming patients from highly developed countries is to improve health and combine it with relaxation, regeneration of physical and mental strength, visiting tourist attractions and entertainment. This gives an opportunity to develop this branch of tourism for the less economically developed EU countries and Ukraine, which can offer high quality services in the field of cardiac care, post-infarction rehabilitation and care for seniors. Can the development of medical tourism be a chance for local governments? What is the ideal model? What to do and work out?

Local Identity as an Opportunity for Tour- ism Development Central European countries are still not among the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, and the quality of tourism products is still low.

Health resorts and spas can play an important role in creating tourist offer, which over the last decade have become centres of not only health, but also tourism, sport and culture. How to successfully develop the cooperation in the field of tourism and exploit the potential of the offer based on the natural and cultural heritage?

Cohesion of the Transatlantic Community. Has it Stood the Test of 2017? It has been one year since the new American administration took over. The directions have changed, but contrary to Europe’s concerns, it has not been left alone in the security area. There was no ‘deal’ between Russia and the United States at the expense of Ukraine. Because of its location, experiences and potential, Central Europe is interested in developing the European Defence abilities and in strengthening the bonds with the United States. Are the Central European ties and friendship with the USA as well as the characteristics of this region, reinforcing or weakening the transatlantic coherence?

Prospects for the Revival of the Black Sea - Caspian Partnership and Cooperation The Caspian Region includes regional leaders like Iran, Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan. The region is rich in natural resources, it also possesses independent trade routes to Europe. For these states, regional partnership with countries of the Black Sea basin already being members of the EU, as well as the associated ones, is an important part of cooperation with the whole European continent. How can the Caspian Region states strengthen the cooperation with GUAM?

Healthcare System Reforms Finding a way to make the healthcare system more efficient and more effective is an extremely complicated task. Healthcare reform is a common challenge for many countries in Central and Eastern Europe. What is the most important today - increasing funds for healthcare, establishing new legal regulations, or maybe finding new structural and organisational solutions? Does the development of private healthcare help to provide better care for the average citizen?

Have We Lost Objective Journalism for Good? Some political forces and some of the countries openly focus on the manipulation of information and on the creation of false content. Organisations are created to defend impartiality and reliable journalism. At the same time, however, quite a large group of media outlets as well as commentators see themselves as performers of a specific mission by undertaking a struggle for the values they hold, by all means, including those unethical. Is it possible to win the fight for objectivity in the media?

“Load Computer Weapons!” New Chal- lenges for Information Security in Europe Over the last two years, we have seen the new face of war that the Russian Federation declared to the Western world. Media support for Brexit and European separatisms, interference in American elections, promotion of extreme political forces, systematic hacking of websites of European government institutions, powerful cyber-attack against Ukraine, distribution of disinformation and propaganda - these are only some of Russian actions aimed at destabilisation of the democratic world. What way will the European countries choose to win the information war against such a strong opponent? Should the fight against the Russian propaganda and cyber offensive proceed from Brussels or from the member states?

A Track Record of the Last Four Years. Ukraine’s and Europe’s Successes and Fail- ures between 2014 and 2018 The debate will attempt to draw up a summary of the last four years in internal, foreign and economic policy from the perspective of Ukraine and its European neighbours. It will also try to sum up the changes made during that period of time. The memory of the enthusiasm and sacrifice that accompanied the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine is still alive, but the war in the East brought huge losses. The economy is struggling after a heavy breakdown, yet the oligarchs are still doing well. On the other hand, there have never been so many useful changes and reforms in the history of independent Ukraine.

The European Union faces the necessity of strengthening its political and economic role in the world, although it is still struggling with internal divisions. In many countries, there are groups opposed to the European integration. Separatism, nationalism and populism question the need for efforts to build a common future of Europeans. Is the concept of “multi-speed Europe” the answer for the European community? Is the future enlargement of the Union to include the countries of the Western Balkans and the Eastern Partnership possible? And if it is – when?

The Russian Federation continues its aggressive policy of exerting influence on other countries through a combination of propaganda, military and economic pressure, as well as open violence. In 2017 the world was shocked by the scale of Russian interference in the electoral processes in the USA and some other countries. The Kremlin also made direct attempts to destabilise the situation in many countries maintaining the pro-Western course. The Russian military, economic and propaganda aggression towards Ukraine continues all the time. How can the countries of our region effectively overcome this pressure?

What can the international community do when international law is ineffective and states regulate contentious issues through force?

Recently, the issue of Crimea, illegally annexed by the Russian Federation, and the case of Donbas occupied by Russian mercenaries, have been added to the long list of frozen conflicts. What are the possible solutions for this problem?

Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in Donbas made it clear that a new security and cooperation framework needs to be worked out. But foreign and defence policies of individual European countries remain incoherent due to conflicting interests and tendencies. This may affect the European integration process and the Euro-Atlantic unity. Central European countries and their eastern neighbours feel poignantly these dangers.

Culture Anew. Development Trends, State and Private Patronage Cultural production deeply immersed in the commercial world is moving away from values, emotions and intellectual disputes. As a result of digital revolution, traditional forms of participation in culture have also been exhausted.
