Bologna Peacebuilding Forum 2026

The 8th edition of the Bologna Peacebuilding Forum will explore how to end wars and create sustainable paths to peace, addressing the growing challenges of protracted conflicts, rising polarization, and the misuse of peace rhetoric. Bringing together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and students, the Forum will examine the limitations of current peace agreements, the risks and potential of new technologies in peacebuilding, and practical approaches for fostering long-term, transformative peace.
