The purpose of the event is to analyse the health and security nexus with a focus on the relevance of epidemic/pandemic risk for European and global security. Experts and policy-makers will discuss the role of the various actors involved in global health governance and the international cooperation initiatives needed to effectively address global health threats such as pandemics. A IAI paper related to these issues will be presented and discussed during the event.

The focus of the Annual Conference organized by the CBRN Cluster is technological innovation in the CBRN sector, with particular reference to European projects involving Italian actors. The aim is to highlight its importance, if not indispensability, to face new challenges even in this sector where criticalities of natural or anthropogenic origin are growing. Technological innovation, in addition to enabling a strengthening and improvement of the various resilience tools available, including reducing their management costs, can enable the availability of new ones.

The webinar seeks to address the key political and energy developments in the Mediterranean and Africa in light of multiple transformations and the opportunities for the European Union and Italy.

This will be the first in-person conference after the pause due to Covid and the Remote Seminars we have organized in recent years.
