The Department of International and European Studies of the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki, Greece, together with the Faculty of Security Studies of the University of Belgrade and the Institute of European Studies of the Republic of Serbia in Belgrade, organise, on 19-20 June 2025, a two-day international conference in Thessaloniki, Greece with the general title “Smart states in the contemporary international system’. The conference will offer the opportunity for academics from all over the world to meet in beautiful Thessaloniki and discuss the choices that States have, or those that are presented by the international balance of power, to consolidate success or feel the bitter taste of failure in the systemic archipelago of friction, antagonism, collision and co-existence.
