CEDLAW, the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), and the 4-year, EU funded COST Action “Constitution-making and deliberative democracy” (CA17135), co-organized the international conference “Constitution-making and Democracy in Troubled Times,” within the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe (https://futureu.europa.eu/processes/Democracy/f/5/meetings/29866).
In the conference, 32 academics and experts from 13 countries (USA, UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Greece, etc.) presented papers. The aim was to address from both a theoretical and applied approach and in a multidisciplinary manner, the challenges, prospects and innovations in the fields of democratic and local governance, and human rights, especially in light of the relevant major developments during the last decade (financial crisis, immigration crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, etc.). Particular emphasis wasplaced on the constitutional extensions of issues related to the above, and also on the ways through which, primarily the local, but also the trans/international levels, can contribute to enhancing, strengthening, and modernizing the democratic system of governance by making it more responsive and efficient.
The conference was held in hybrid form* for both speakers and audience (physical presence and online/streaming) on 16 and 17 December 2021 at Conference Hall I of the Aristotle University Research Dissemination Center (KEDEA), Tritis Septemvriou, University Campus (3ης Σεπτεμβρίου Πανεπιστημιούπολη), Thessaloniki, Greece, 54636 (https://goo.gl/maps/
