On March 30 and 31, 2023 in Riga, Rūpniecības iela 10 a panel within the framework of the 81st international scientific conference of the University of Latvia will be organized by the Institute of Latvian History. The history of any region reflects the contacts and interactions of the different beliefs, needs and traditions of the people who lived there. When irreconcilably different points of view meet, this encounter manifests itself in the form of conflicts. Similar beliefs and goals, in turn, encourage the search for solutions through cooperation. At the 81st international conference of the University of Latvia, in the panel "Conflicts and Cooperation in History" organized by the Institute of Latvian History, we invite you to focus on the dynamics of mutual relations between individuals, groups of people, peoples and countries and the influence of said dynamics on the course of history in the period from the most ancient times to the present day.
