X. “Adenauer-Conference“

Details

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought war back to Europe – implying a clear caesura for the European security order. EU and NATO reacted with strong sanctions, humanitarian and military assistance for Ukraine as well as an increased presence of military forces along the eastern flank of NATO territory in Europe. The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine underlines the necessity of increased and resolute investments of EU and NATO in the resilience of their democratic societies and defensibility.

In order to discuss the implications of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine on Germany and Europe, the future of the Euro-Atlantic security architecture, the strategic challenges of Russian–Chinese alliance for the West as well as the impact of hybrid threats on our democratic societies, you are cordially invited to the X. Adenauer-Conference on “Germany’s Role in International Security Affairs” on Thursday, 19th May 2022. This conference will bring together experts from the realms of politics, science, military and civil society. 

This pre-eminent Conference is being organised in hybrid mode in KAS Academy, Berlin, Germany. For online participation, please register at: https://bit.ly/3Mg0M80

Given the announced German “Zeitenwende”, in his keynote-address Ambassador Dr. Christoph Heusgen will highlight the role of Germany in this profoundest security crisis in decades. Together with the Ambassador of France to Germany, H.E. Anne-Marie Descôtes, and the Deputy Chairman of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group, Dr. Johann Wadephul, MP, he will discuss the importance of the “Franco-German Engine” for strengthening Europe’s capacity to act.

We look forward to having you at the conference!
