The Egmont Institute is pleased to invite you to an in-person High-Level Roundtable exploring the evolving security dynamics in the Arctic through European, transatlantic, and national lenses.

The discussion will be anchored in the recent European Parliament report initiated by MEP Urmas Paet on the EU’s diplomatic strategy and geopolitical cooperation in the Arctic. Besides MEP Paet as our keynote speaker, we are honoured to already welcome to the Roundtable discussion, Permanent Representative of Belgium to NATO, Ambassador Willem van de Voorde. Further details, including the third speaker will follow in due course.

Please do not hesitate to contact Noemi Meloni at n.meloni@egmontinstitute.be should you require any additional information.

We very much hope you will be able to join us. This is an in-person event.
