Join us as we reflect on the key issues and debates of this year's Munich Security Conference, with a particular focus on nuclear security topics. This event is hosted by the Centre for International Security.
The 59th Munich Security Conference (MSC) will take place from February 17 – 19, 2023 in Munich. Given today's challenging security environment, the MSC's personal, off-the-record discussions and high-level participation will be particularly important and generate significant interest. Therefore, save the date for the Hertie School Centre for International Security's annual Post-MSC Discussion to hear from people on the ground about the discussions in Munich and learn more about the main conclusions that can be drawn from the MSC 2023. Speakers will be added to this page as they're confirmed.
