Democrazia per il bene comune.

What world do we want to build?

The world has yet to find a new "order" after the end of the Cold War. Indeed, there is talk of "world disorder," especially in light of the tragic war in Ukraine, which erupted just as the world was starting to recover from the Sars-Cov2 pandemic.

This conference intends to think about the present and future, and to propose a viewpoint that does not have to end with today. The Pontifical Gregorian University aspires to be a permanent point of reference on these very present issues, with a global gaze turned to the future and a constant awareness of the past.
