As proud partners with the Euroatlantic Center for Resilience, the Political Research Group was thrilled to contribute to the organization of the second edition of the Euro-Atlantic Resilience Forum, held on September 28th-29th, 2023.

This year’s theme, “Resilience at Sea and its Impact on Land,” spotlighted the critical intersection of maritime challenges and their extensive consequences for our global community.

A significant highlight of our involvement this year was the collaboration with the prestigious Hudson Institute to organize the Washington event on the topic 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬, underscoring our commitment to fostering dialogue on emerging and disruptive technologies. This partnership exemplified our strategic initiative to bridge knowledge and policy gaps in the realm of global resilience.

Expanding the Conversation on Resilience

The innovative approach of the forum, featuring duplex sessions across major cities including New York, Brussels, Kyiv, Vicenza, Lublin, and notably Washington, D.C., facilitated a global exchange of ideas and solutions.

In Washington, the collaboration with the Hudson Institute brought a focused lens on the critical role of technology in shaping future resilience strategies. This session highlighted the urgent need for innovative approaches to safeguard critical infrastructures and ensure the continuity of societal functions in the face of technological disruptions.

Key Themes and Collaborative Efforts

Our discussions spanned a broad spectrum of resilience topics, from global warming and natural disaster mitigation in partnership with the UN in New York, to critical infrastructure resilience in Brussels with the European Parliament, and energy system robustness in Kyiv. The forum’s unique format allowed for in-depth exploration of these issues, with the Washington event shining a spotlight on the potential and challenges posed by emerging technologies.

The dialogues initiated in these sessions are crucial for developing comprehensive strategies to address the multifaceted nature of global resilience challenges. By partnering with the Hudson Institute for the Washington panel, the Political Research Group has furthered its mission to catalyse policy innovation and strengthen international cooperation.

Looking Ahead

The success of the Euro-Atlantic Resilience Forum, particularly the impactful Washington session, marks a significant milestone in our efforts to promote resilience as a cornerstone of global security and prosperity. The live broadcasts and the exclusive participation of top-level leaders and experts from various sectors have amplified the forum’s reach, ensuring that the discussions resonate well beyond the event.
