On October 4, 2022, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies welcomed Her Excellency Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, the former president of the Republic of Croatia (2015-2020), to deliver the 2022 Nanovic Forum lecture. She delivered a lecture titled “War in Ukraine, Peace in Europe? Geopolitics, Economics, and Security after Russia’s Invasion,” both online and to a full Hesburgh Center auditorium at the University of Notre Dame. As explained by Clemens Sedmak, director of the Nanovic Institute and professor of social ethics, the Nanovic Forum is an opportunity to bring Europe’s leaders to Notre Dame. Describing Grabar-Kitarović, Sedmak said: “even though she is a citizen of the world, she is a true European.” For more information about the Nanovic Institute for European Studies and the Nanovic Forum Lecture Series, visit nanovic.nd.edu/forum.
