AFoCR Signs Collaboration Agreement with Jagello 2000
The agreement establishes a framework for joint initiatives aimed at strengthening Czech–U.S. relations through public diplomacy, educational programming, and strategic dialogue. Planned areas of cooperation include major international events such as NATO Days in Ostrava, the Czech National Conference (“Our Security Cannot Be Taken for Granted”) in Prague, and the Resiliance in Security and Economics Dialogue (RISE) in Austin, TX.
The inaugural RISE conference, held at the University of Texas at Austin, was organized by the Atlantic Council and Jagello 2000 in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin, and supported by CSG, AFoCR, and the George W. Bush Institute.
As the transatlantic relationship undergoes a period of significant change, the RISE Dialogue convened leading policymakers, business leaders, and experts to explore opportunities to deepen U.S.–European collaboration, strengthen resilience, foster innovation, and expand economic opportunity on both sides of the Atlantic. The conference marked the first event held under this newly signed collaboration agreement.
