[PIO] International Seminar on European Security and Geo-economics: European Perspectives between Political Responsibility and Economic Autonomy

The Security and Defence Academy of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Cyprus, in cooperation with the Royal Institute of International Relations EGMONT and the Austrian Defence Academy, under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College, co-organized the International Seminar "European Security and Geo-economics: European Perspectives between Political Responsibility and Economic Autonomy."

The seminar, which took place in Brussels from 27 to 30 November 2023, was organised for the first time and aimed to analyse and discuss the interdependence between European security and geo-economics, and in particular to understand the concept of geo-economics as a characteristic of security and defence policy.

During the seminar, ways of using economic instruments to achieve general strategic interests were examined, in particular Cyprus, Austria, Austria, Bulgaria, Ireland, Czech Republic, Malta, Slovakia, Italy, Belgium, Romania and Spain.

Participants who successfully completed the seminar and the European Security and Defence College online course were awarded certificates of attendance signed by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Mr. Josep Borrell.
