<span style="font-size: 11.5px;"><span style="color: rgb(32, 32, 32);">The theme of the conference is how different actors have responded to populist parties in and out of government, and whether these responses have been effective and normatively justifiable.

The conference will take place on 27–28 May 2024 in Roskilde. Roskilde is located conveniently 30 minutes by train from Copenhagen Central Station. We plan for a mix of presentations by conference participants and by current and former project members. We also
plan to invite a few non-academic stakeholders (activists or politicians) for a roundtable discussion. </p>
