13 Sep Euro-Atlantic Café

Since 2015 the Centre for Euro-Atlantic Integration and Democracy (CEID) is organizing a series of discussions on transatlantic issues in the framework of our new project Euro-Atlantic Café.  The project is supported by the Embassy of the United States to Hungary. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the US and the Hungarian interpretations and perceptions of current events. Open discussions about foreign policy and security issues are unfortunately rather rare in Hungary, and our foundation, CEID would like to fill this gap.

We invite US speakers on selected topics to debate with Hungarian counterparts in regular intervals. The discussions are open to the public and media (although we require prior registration). At the end of each session the audience has the opportunity to raise questions.  A short summary of each session is published online.
