How has Eurasian economic integration developed in 2022? What internal obstacles does the EAEU need to overcome? How have Western sanctions affected the development of the organization, and what is the future of infrastructure projects in Eurasia?

These and other questions will be discussed by leading experts from RIAC and IMEMO within the framework of the sixth joint seminar.
