We are happy to announce that the 2nd International Maritime Security Conference, will take place on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at Eugenides Foundation, Athens.
The conference is organized by the Council for International Relations-Greece, established in 2018 by 60 leading academics from all Greek Departments of International and European Studies, and the Foreign Affairs Institute, in cooperation with the School of Maritime and Industrial Studies of the University of Piraeus and the Mackinder Forum.
The aim of this conference is to establish a high-level international platform for exchanging scientific, operational, and institutional opinions, ideas, and practices related to Maritime Security. This is particularly critical given both the scale of Greek Shipping as well as the ongoing geopolitical developments in the Eastern Mediterranean the Red Sea, the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf which are crucial factors for its international presence.
Last year, our inaugural conference attracted a vast audience from the shipping industry, foreign embassies, journalists, and, of course, policy makers.
This year’s theme is entitled “Threats to maritime trade and maritime infrastructure.” Amid growing instability, regional conflicts and asymmetrical challenges, we aspire in studying maritime threats (and opportunities), acknowledging the significance of maritime safety for the global economy.
The four pillars of discussion are:
- Risks to maritime trade and supply chains.
- Risks to maritime infrastructure.
- Risks to Greek maritime industry.
- Geopolitical and technological trends influencing maritime security.
