Halifax International Security Forum

About This Event

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF), in cooperation with the Government of Canada, has launched the Halifax International Security Forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia to address the top global security challenges facing the transatlantic community. This major international conference is the first of its kind on the North American continent. Serious conferences about regional and global security have traditionally taken place outside of the United States and Canada. However, no country and no continent are immune to the world�s new dangers. GMF�s mission to promote cooperation between North America and Europe on a wide range of concerns led to the creation of a major international security conference in Canada. By bringing together leading policy and opinion makers from around the world, Halifax Forum will help shape a new transatlantic security agenda that can adapt to changing global realities and emerging threats.

About The German Marshall Fund

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) is a nonpartisan American public policy and grantmaking institution dedicated to promoting greater cooperation and understanding between the United States and Europe. GMF does this by supporting individuals and institutions working on transatlantic issues, by convening leaders to discuss the most pressing transatlantic themes, and by examining ways in which transatlantic cooperation can address a variety of global policy challenges. In addition, GMF supports a number of initiatives to strengthen democracies. Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic.
