In light of the growing instability in Europe’s neighbourhood and the European Union’s aspiration to become a full-fledged actor in international peacekeeping, the theme of this year’s Europe Lecture ‘Europe in the World: Peace and Security’ is of major interest.

Former president of Latvia Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga and prof. Jonathan Holslag will discuss the role of the European Union on the international stage regarding matters of peace and security.
