Syria in Transition: What Comes Next?

28 Jun 2025

15:15 - 16:30

City Hall

More than a decade of war has reshaped Syria and the wider region. With Bashar al-Assad no longer in power and a fragile transitional government now in place under President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the country stands at a historic turning point. 

This panel brings together leading experts to explore what the future holds for Syria: from rebuilding institutions and seeking justice to managing sectarian tensions, regional influence, and refugee return.  

As Syria re-emerges on the international stage, what will it take to move from survival to stability — and can a lasting peace ever be built on the ruins of the past?
