When: 24 June 2012 - 25 June 2012

Where: Vienna

Organized by: OSCE

The 2012 OSCE Security Days event will provide a platform for the discussion of fresh ideas and approaches to Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian security. It aims to help link the contributions that both traditional diplomacy and civil society can make to working towards a Security Community.

Themes relevant to the building of a Security Community will be discussed during the event. These will include the need to tackle security challenges through co-operative tools, and to promote trust, dialogue and reconciliation.

With eminent speakers from academic institutions and other elements of civil society, the OSCE Security Days will provide a forum for open debate, encouraging valuable intellectual input for the 2012 OSCE Annual Security Review Conference.

The conference will take place at the Hofburg Congress Centre. Each session will be followed by a debate open to the public. The event will be streamed live here for those who cannot attend. Active participation in the event is welcomed and encouraged – comments and questions can be sent prior to and during the event via Twitter, @OSCE, using the hashtag #secdays.
