Scientific event summary
With its 27,000 km², Crimea is a region of exceptional natural and cultural heritage. A crossroads of great civilizations, it was a key passageway for peoples such as the Scythians, Goths and Huns. The Crimean Tatars, Ukraine's indigenous people, are their direct heirs and embody the nomadic soul of this land.
Crimea is not limited to its ancient history. Today, it is a nerve center for global geopolitical issues. Exploring its past means better understanding current conflicts, imagining collective solutions and reflecting on the future of this key region for the stability of Europe and the world.
