Shaping Civilian CSDP for the future - High Level Conference
With the EU’s Strategic Compass now providing the direction of travel, the conference will provide an opportunity to discuss at a more granular level its implications for the future development of Civilian CSDP.
The conference will also explore, with the help of former CivOpsCdrs, Civilian CSDP’s rich record of achievement over the last fifteen years to see how lessons learned can transform Civilian CSDP into an ever more effective instrument contributing to European Security.
The conference will be livestreamed on the European Parliament website: https://multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreaming?df=2022-05-24
