This series highlights how the United States and Central Europe can together lead in shaping transatlantic responses to global challenges, while also underscoring our unique cultural connections.
Central Europe Week is the Europe Center’s annual flagship conference that aims to raise Central European voices in transatlantic debates while fostering a dynamic US-Central European partnership prepared to jointly tackle pressing challenges in Europe and beyond. This year’s Central Europe Week will explore how Central European partners, in coordination with European allies and the United States, can serve as a cornerstone in the transatlantic alliance and help shape a productive agenda in a complex geopolitical and geo-economic environment, as well as the important role European allies can play in promoting security, improving resilience, and preparing for the threats of the future. Events will be hosted across the region in Bucharest, Warsaw, and Prague and virtually from February 2 through February 6.
