Washington Forum 2016

The EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) jointly organised this year’s EUISS Washington Forum. The Forum is a platform to bring together EU and member state officials with their US counterparts for a dialogue on the main security challenges currently facing both the US and Europe. In addition to the 28 Brussels-based ambassadors from the Political and Security Committee (PSC), a number of officials from the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the US government participated. This year’s topics were the US presidential elections and the Middle East, with a special focus on Syria, Libya and Iran.
