Important names within the academic medium, representing major universities and research centers (Sciences Po Paris, CEU Budapest, Maastricht University, Jewish Museum in Warsaw), as well as high profile political figures (such as Dr. Hans-Gert Pottering, former president of the European Parliament) will be attending the conference. Given the diversity of the topics addressed, as well as the high profile of both scholars and academic institutions, the Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv took the necessary steps to include a Romanian participant in the program, in order to strengthen the collaboration with the most important Israeli universities. Thus, Mr. László Borbély, State Counselor and Coordinator of the Sustainable Development Department within the Government of Romania, will attend, on April 10th, the panel focused on”Antisemitism and Xenophobia in Europe today”. His intervention will emphasize the role of multiculturalism and sustainable development in the prevention of such phenomena, highlighting the importance of education in the process of combating xenophobia and anti-Antisemitism, having Romania as a case study.
