The conference will also highlight progress made on Ukrainian reforms in the context of economic resilience and the EU accession process.<\/p>\n<p>URC2025 will build on the work of previous conferences held in <strong>Lugano (2022), London (2023),<\/strong> and <strong>Berlin (2024),<\/strong> reaffirming the <strong>Four Berlin Dimensions<\/strong> as the key pillars for Ukraine\u2019s recovery, modernisation, and reform efforts: the Business Dimension, the Human Dimension, the Local and Regional Dimension, and the EU Dimension.

Topics will include autonomy, strengthening administrative capacity, and access to funding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EU Dimension \u2013 EU accession and related reforms<\/strong><br \/>\nEuropean integration is crucial for aligning Ukraine\u2019s policies and institutions with EU standards, thereby promoting long-term economic and social progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Within the main venue of the Conference, the <strong>Recovery Forum<\/strong> will take place\u2014an interactive platform encouraging dialogue, networking, and the exchange of best practices among Ukrainian, Italian, and international representatives, local authorities, financial institutions, and development banks.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>Business Fair<\/strong> will also be an integral part of the event, providing Ukrainian, Italian, and international enterprises\u2014ranging from SMEs to large corporations and local authorities\u2014with opportunities to connect, collaborate, and explore concrete prospects within the framework of Ukraine\u2019s reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the days of the conference in Rome, a number of <strong>side events<\/strong> will take place focusing on specific topics such as energy efficiency, education and training, green reconstruction, human capital policy, defence, and industrial development.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 will be a pivotal moment to strengthen international cooperation and define concrete strategies for Ukraine\u2019s recovery, reform, and European integration.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urc-international.com\/\">official URC 2025 website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"collapseExample2\" class=\"accordion\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header \"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse0a\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse0a\">Thursday, 10 July<\/button><\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse0a\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading0a\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<p><strong>08:30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Admission<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>10:30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>I\u00a0Plenary Session<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>II Plenary Session<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>III Plenary Session \u2013 Opening of the Recovery Forum<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lunch break<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>IV Plenary Session \u2013 Financial Session<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>16:00-17:15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Session 1<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>Business Dimension: Panel 1.1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Unlocking Ukraine\u2019s Growth: A Strategic Vision for a Business-Led Recovery<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>Human Capital Dimension: Panel 2.1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Engagement, Return and Reintegration of Ukrainians<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>Local and Regional Dimension: Panel 3.1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Ukrainian Communities as a Global Symbol of Resilience and Unity.
