Brussels Forum 2025
Brussels Forum 2025 will take place June 11 and 12, at Hotel Le Plaza in Brussels, Belgium.Partnership Disrupted: How Can Transatlantic Cooperation Endure?
In 2025, leaders on both sides of the Atlantic are confronting dramatic challenges in a highly unstable global environment. Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, and the reconfiguration of alignments across the globe all demand new thinking. Mounting threats to democracy, anxiety about economic and technological competitiveness, coupled with declining trust in institutions, information and facts, and traditional alliances, all demand new approaches to transatlantic policy. Join us at this 20th edition of Brussels Forum where we will explore and debate the issues and ideas shaping the transatlantic outlook for prosperity, democracy, and security against a backdrop of unprecedented disruption.
