\tThe consensus on the foundations of European security has gradually eroded in recent years. The ongoing crisis in and around Ukraine has challenged co-operative security and aggravated emerging divisions.<\/p>\n
\tIn order to provide advice and recommendations on how to address these challenges, a \u201cPanel of Eminent Persons on European Security as a Common Project\u201d has been established by the 2014 Swiss OSCE Chairmanship, in close co-operation with the incoming 2015 Serbian and 2016 German Chairmanships.<\/p>\n
\tThe Panel, consisting of 15 eminent personalities with long-standing practical expertise in European security, has been tasked to prepare the basis for an inclusive and constructive security dialogue across the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regions. The Panel has produced two reports: an Interim Report on lessons learned for the OSCE from its engagement in Ukraine (in June 2015), and a Final Report on the broader issues of security in Europe and the OSCE area at large (in November 2015).<\/p>\n
\tIn line with the Panel\u2019s mandate, the OSCE Network of Think Tanks and Academic Institution has also prepared a contribution to the Panel\u2019s work. The report \u201cReviving Co-operative Security in Europe through the OSCE\u201d was published and submitted to the Panel on 2 October 2015.<\/p>\n
\tThe side event will provide an opportunity to present key findings of the Panel, to discuss how its recommendations could be included in a political dialogue and implemented within the OSCE framework, and to compare recommendations of the Panel with those of the OSCE Network.<\/p>\n
