How will the recent NATO Summit in The Hague shape the future of European security and transatlantic relations?
Just days after the summit (June 24-25), join us on Monday, June 30, for “After the Summit: Expert Analysis of the NATO Summit in The Hague”. This event offers a timely discussion on the summit’s outcomes and their implications against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and shifting geopolitical landscapes.
The Hague Humanity Hub, in collaboration with The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) and the T.M.C. Asser Instituut, hosts an expert panel to dissect the summit’s key discussions, pivotal decisions, the NATO Secretary General’s concluding remarks, and the future trajectory of the Alliance. Our speakers will engage in a moderated, informal discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A with the audience.
Our speakers will provide in-depth analysis on critical themes, including support for Ukraine, the strengthening of European defense capabilities, transatlantic relations, and NATO’s strategic adaptation to new and emerging threats. This event offers a unique opportunity for professionals, academics, students, and the interested public to engage directly with leading experts and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping international peace and security.
The session will feature an interactive Q&A, allowing attendees to pose their questions to the panelists. Following the formal program, attendees are welcome to stay for further informal networking.
