This ICRRA conference examines the state, shape and role of 
international cultural relations at a time of global crisis. The 
Covid-19 pandemic and other longstanding global challenges and crises 
and the intersections between them – including the climate emergency, 
rising geopolitical tensions, population displacement, and persistent 
social injustice and inequality – are having a profound impact on 
efforts to build trust, enhance cooperation and understanding across 
national borders, and develop intercultural dialogue. How should 
cultural relations researchers and practitioners respond to this? What 
can we learn from each other? What are the emerging themes and 
priorities for future research, practice and policy insight? From 26-29 
October 2020 researchers, practitioners, policy makers and others 
interested in the above topics and questions are warmly invited to join 
ICRRA members to discuss international cultural relations under the 
overarching theme ‘Cultural Relations and Crisis: Results, Impact, New 
Questions’.

Keynote speakers:

  * *Ilhem Allagui*, Northwestern University, Qatar
  * *Ivan Krastev*, Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofia
  * *Nasar Meer*, University of Edinburgh

Other contributions include members of the ICRRA network 
<https://www.ifa.de/fileadmin/Content/docs/forschung/ifa_ICRAA_statement_of_intent.pdf>and 
a panel discussion drawing on the experiences of those actively involved 
in shaping cultural relations through programmes, movements, actions and 
initiatives on the ground in different parts of the world.
