In this EPLO Brown Bag Lunch discussion, the European Institute of Peace’s Executive Director, Michael Keating, will initiate a discussion about the changing political support for European conflict resolution, the conflict prevention and resolution priorities for EU Member States and the EU, and the consequences for European civil society actors.

Michael Keating joined the European Institute of Peace as Executive Director in November 2018. Previously, he was the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia. His career includes experience in the NGO and private sectors, as well as several assignments for the United Nations.

The European Institute of Peace is an independent body that partners with European countries and the EU to craft strategic and effective approaches to conflict prevention, resolution, dialogue and mediation.

The presentation will be followed by an informal discussion with participants.

Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch and EPLO will provide tea and coffee.

Please note that seats are limited and registration is mandatory. Please contact Lorenzo Conti if you would like to participate.
