​​​​​​​​​​​​About the Seminar

After three restricted editions, under Chatham House Rules, the annual seminar of the Atlantic Centre turned outwards and opened the discussion on the future security challenges in the Atlantic and its governance structures.

The IV Seminar of the Atlantic Centre addressed these governance needs from th​e perspective of the changing security dynamics affecting Atlantic communities. This edition was hosted in several locations throughout a week of events addressing different security issues. It was also focused on raising awareness and advocating for more inclusive institutional arrangements that favour dialogue and cooperation across issue areas.

For its IV Seminar, the Atlantic Centre partnered with Universities, research centres and think tanks to promote a wide debate on the governance formats needed to respond to the current and future security challenges in the Atlantic.​​

​This is the list of partners joining this IV edition of the Seminar: ​​

  • ​​​​​Faculty of Economics, University of Coimbra (Portugal)
  • Gulf of Guinea Maritime Institute (Ghana)
  • National Defence Institute (Portugal)
  • OBSERVARE- Observatory of Foreign Relations / Autonomous University of Lisbon (UAL)
  • IPRI -Nova University of Lisbon

​Oceans remain the great connectors of our time. Through the global ocean run trade and energy routes, underwater data cables and a myriad of legal and illegal activities, affecting communities on shore.  For most of the 21st century, interest in Atlantic dynamics was diminished, with world politics focusing instead on the Pacific. That trend is slowly being reversed and renewed attention is being given to the important dynamics impacting the Atlantic Ocean and the many communities it hosts. New governance needs are being identified to manage the complex dynamics emerging in the Atlantic in a way that favours peace and prosperity in this strategically important area.

The IV Seminar of the Atlantic Centre will address these governance needs from the perspective of the changing security dynamics affecting Atlantic communities.

This edition will be hosted in several locations throughout a week of events addressing different security issues. It will also be focused on raising awareness and advocating for more inclusive institutional arrangements that favour dialogue and cooperation across issue areas.
