The PRIO Cyprus Centre, as partner with the Institute of International Relations - ΙΔΙΣ, would like to invite you to the: Athens Security Forum 2024: Europe at Crossroads - Transatlantic Bridge or Rift?
The third edition of the Athens Security Forum (ASF) – Europe at the Crossroads, Transatlantic Bridge or Rift? – comes at the heels of the U.S. elections, while two regional wars are testing the resilience of our 70 years old collective security framework. Taking stock of the integrity of our Euro-Atlantic security foundations, the ASF brings together thought leaders in foreign and security policy from institutions in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. We hope for maximum physical and virtual engagement of the academic, diplomatic, military, and policy communities.
