The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

CIC National: Democracy and Diplomacy…Canada-Germany Collaboration for EU Stability

June 4, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT

Join us on Tuesday June 4th, 2024 for a special event presented by the CIC and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung titled “Democracy and Diplomacy: Canada-Germany Collaboration for EU Stability”. There will be a panel discussion and fireside chat, followed by a reception for all attendees (no cost, free refreshments).

The discussion will be based on the Panorama Report 2024 published by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, which provides a comprehensive insight into the current development of the European Union and its environment in a year-on-year comparison. The analysis presents a multi-thematic assessment of the current situation in the areas of innovation and competitiveness, the attitudes of member states towards the EU, and the global environment. By using qualitative and quantitative indicators, the analysis provides sound insights into current trends and developments.
