Join the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) for a conversation with Natalia Gavrilița who served as the 15th Prime Minister of Moldova between August 2021 and February 2023.
Natalia Gavrilița will speak about discuss Moldova’s growing role in Europe and the country’s economic and democratic prospects.
A graduate of Harvard Kennedy School, Gavrilița (MPP 2005) served as the 15th Prime Minister of Moldova from 2021 to 2023. Gavrilița led the government through multiple overlapping crises caused by the war in neighboring Ukraine, while also advancing ambitious anti-corruption, economic, and governance reforms. During her time in office, Moldova received the largest influx of Ukrainian refugees of any European country, diversified its energy market to be less reliant on Russian gas, and became a candidate country to apply for membership in the European Union.
