On the 8th of April 2021, the Netherlands Atlantic Youth organised NATO Night 2021: The Next Generation. On this evening experts discussed the greatest challenges to the Alliance now and in the coming decades. Together with the next generation of transatlantic leaders, they explored the prospects for NATO’s way forward to continue fostering peace and safety worldwide.
As students and young professionals today did not experience the historical events that made the establishment of NATO of great importance, this generation might have a different perspective on the aims and relevance of the organization. Furthermore, new developments in a range of areas such as cyber and geopolitics have created new opportunities and threats. NATO Night 2021, aims to form an idea of how NATO should develop in the coming decade, together with the audience.
Among the panelists for NATO Night 2021 was HCSS Research Fellow Bianca Torossian.
