The EASI Next Generation Leaders Conference, taking place on May 25-26 in Vienna, builds on several months of work within the network to envision a more inclusive, secure, and cooperative Euro-Atlantic community. The network developed ideas and recommendations for the areas of trust and historical reconciliation, engagement of new groups in hard security, the assessment of new threats, and the development of new tools in security.
The session featured a dynamic, moderated panel discussion, with an opportunity for questions and answers from the audience. Panelists included Carnegie’s Ambassador James F. Collins, Zeynep Alemdar of Okan University, Petri Hakkarainen of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, Rem Korteweg of the Center for European Reform, and the Kennan Institute’s Matthew Rojansky. Comments and questions were submitted prior to and during the event via Twitter @OSCE with hashtags #secdays and #EASINextGen. OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier chaired the discussion.
The EASI Next Generation program is made possible by generous support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Hurford Foundation, and the Starr Foundation.
