A Virtual Conference of the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence

Join us for a virtual conference examining the opportunities and constraints  that exist for the EU as it seeks to maintain and expand diplomatic and commercial relations with the Middle East, while preserving the transatlantic partnership and promoting global stability.

The conference will explore the ways in which bilateral relations are vital to the geostrategic and economic interests of both regions, and how security, human rights, refugees and other issues produce a complex interrelationship.
