Join us, for a high-level event on democratic renewal with opening keynotes by European Commissioner Jutta Urpilainen and US Assistant Secretary for Democracy Lisa Peterson.
In recent years, the world has experienced an increase in democratic backsliding, authoritarian tendencies in many countries and rising hybrid influencing. To make democracy thrive in the world, there is a need for multilateral partnerships, which includes continued EU leadership and enhanced EU action. This event will provide a forum to discuss, among international leaders, civil society and policymakers, EU democracy support in the post-Covid recovery. It will discuss renewed multilateral approaches and partnerships, including transatlantic opportunities, to sustain democracy.
