Network of Women in Czech Foreign, European, and Security policy
We have been running a women network since 2017. Our goal is to support women in becoming more involved in shaping international relations and public debate in their areas of expertise. That is why we have created a platform where women who are actively involved in Czech foreign, European, and security policy can meet. We provide experts from public administration, politics, diplomacy, international organizations, the media, research institutions, and the non-profit sector with a space to discuss current international affairs, share their specific work and professional experiences, gain confidence and build professional relationships.
Would you like to join us?
Are you an expert on Czech foreign, European, or security policy? We would be delighted to have you join our network. We welcome junior and senior experts in international relations from public administration, politics, diplomacy, international organizations, the non-profit sector, the media, research institutions, and the private sector.
If you are interested in joining the network, please write to barbora.trckova@amo.cz.
Please note that some of the meetings of the network are held in Czech. The language of instruction of each particular network meeting or event is always stated in the invitation.
