On 17-18 November, the Schuman Security and Defence Forum (Schuman Forum) will bring together in Brussels the EU’s closest partners in the field of peace, security and defence to exchange views on common security challenges and common responses.
For its third edition, the EU will gather senior decision-makers from more than 80 partner countries, EU Member States, high-level representatives of the European Union, international and regional organisations, as well as leading think tanks and academia.
Programme
The Schuman Forum will begin with a closed-door ministerial dinner on 17 November. Experts on peace, security and defence policy from think tanks and academia from around the world will meet at a side event taking place on the same day.
On 18 November, the Schuman Forum will continue at the European Parliament with keynote speeches, plenary and breakout sessions shedding light on how ongoing and potential peace, security and defence partnerships can respond more effectively to present and future security threats and challenges.
