MSC@Amerikahaus – Emerging Leaders
MSC@Amerikahaus – Emerging Leaders provides a unique space for intergenerational exchange in foreign and security politics. Future decision makers meet with established policy makers from around the world. It opens the discourse for those whose future is at stake and presents a forum for young voices to be heard by political experts and decision makers.
The Amerikahaus–Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations and the MSC are proud to present an impressive number of events on issues such as the future of democracy, (social) media and security, the role of youth in security, the link between sustainability and security, and the role of the EU and its transatlantic allies in a future global order.
MSC@Amerikahaus – Emerging Leaders will feature events with partners such as Aspen Institute, Junge Gesellschaft für Sicherheitspolitik, Club de Madrid, Salzburg Global Seminar, Junges Forum der Gesellschaft für Außenpolitik, Young Security Conference e.V., Bertelsmann Stiftung and others.
