About the Event:

The global security and defence agenda is undergoing a transformation. New challenges such as cybersecurity, terrorism, access to natural resources and failed states pose an increasing threat and require innovative responses. The EU is adapting to this shift by implementing a comprehensive approach linking civil and military responses.

Lieutenant General Ton Van Osch examined the challenges and opportunities for the European Union Military Staff (EUMS) and the wider EU at this juncture.

About the Speaker: 

Lieutenant General Ton Van Osch assumed the post of Director General of the EUMS in May 2010.  He previously served as Military Representative of the Netherlands to the EU and NATO. He has held a number of key military planning roles in Netherlands and overseas, including in the Balkans during the Kosovo conflict and in US Central Command at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan.
