MSC Conversations
MSC Conversations are small, confidential meetings featuring a high-level speaker and a selected group of participants, including senior experts, thinkers, and decision-makers. MSC Conversations are typically held under Chatham House rule, but selected events can be open to the public.
Road To Munich
This MSC Conversation is part of the MSC series "Beyond Westlessness: The Road to Munich". In the months leading up to the MSC 2022, this series aims to advance the security policy dialogue among international decision-makers and to lay the groundwork for in-person debates in Munich in February 2022. At the heart lies the question of how transatlantic cooperation can be revitalized, and which foreign and security policy challenges are particularly crucial in this context. To this end, a wide variety of event formats and publications will highlight key global and transatlantic challenges and develop policy recommendations, including on relations with China.
