BRIEF 1/2025 – Round Table on Peace and Security in Europe
On 23 May 2025, a high-level round table on Peace and Security was held at the European Commission Representation in Portugal. In Europe, the project of European integration founded on peace and prosperity almost 70 years ago is facing conflicts within Europe and in its neighbourhood, raising questions about the prospects for lasting peace and positive and beneficial international alliances for its construction.
Around two dozen guests working on these issues and/or who are experts in them discussed Europe’s prospects for strategic autonomy in security and defence and the priorities and challenges of the EU’s role in peace and security on the European continent and in the world.
This was an initiative of the Club of Lisbon in collaboration with FEC – Fundação Fé e Cooperação, IMVF – Instituto Marquês de Valle Flôr, PCS – Platform for Sustainable Growth and the Autonomous University of Lisbon, as part of projects “Global Challenges for Development” and “Coherence – the axis of Development”.
