The 17th Annual International Symposium
“THE NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT OF NATO”
in conjunction to the
Transatlantic Youth Forum for South Eastern Europe
December 18th and 19th 2009
 
                It is our distinct pleasure to announce the 17th Annual International Symposium of the Greek Association for Atlantic and European Cooperation under the general theme: “The New Strategic Concept of NATO”, that will be held in Athens, 18 – 19 December 2009, in conjunction with the Transatlantic Youth Forum for South Eastern Europe, under the auspices of the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.
                NATO’s new strategic concept is a big challenge for the years to come. GAAEC feels responsible to contribute to the dialogue already started in the Transatlantic Area.
                We look forward not only to discuss this issue with the approximately 100 delegates of a broad professional spectrum invited from Greece, NATO, PfP and Mediterranean Countries, but we also aspire  to encourage particularly our young participants  to continue the above discussion electronically.
                Our suggestions and involvement can contribute to the shaping of the future for the Alliance.
                If you require further information for application procedures, please contact Ms. Anna Moersch at education@gaaec.org   or voice: +30-210-86 55 979
