Modul University Vienna, Am Kahlenberg 1, 1190 Vienna, Austria<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As a new conflict breaks out between West and East in Europe, it is more important than ever to reflect on our history and its lessons and traditions, on the successes of politics and diplomacy for peace and freedom, on our historical ability to overcome war and resolve all hostilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All details about the event can be found in the invitation below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Registration by 8 September 2025 to kanzleramt@georgsorden.eu<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 18 September 2025, start: 2.00 pm<\/strong> This event, organised in cooperation by the Order of St. George, the Austrian Society for the Protection of Cultural Property and the Austrian Armed Forces, is dedicated to the development of the Austrian Armed Forces and the security policy situation in Austria over the past seven decades. In a historical review and an analysis of the current structure and tasks of the Austrian Armed Forces, the changes in the organisation and its security policy significance will be presented. The programme is rounded off by an outlook on the security-related challenges of the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As speakers and panellists, we welcome high-ranking generals who have played a key role in shaping the Austrian Armed Forces, as well as the current Secretary General of the Federal Ministry of Defence. Their expertise will provide fascinating insights into the past, present and future of Austrian security policy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Speakers and panellists<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Following the presentations, we invite you to a cosy get-together with the opportunity to exchange ideas. We look forward to welcoming a large audience and to an insightful evening in the security policy area of the theme of the year: Integrity. Direction. Hope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Contact person: Hofrat Dr. Paul Ertl<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Registration by 15 September 2025 to paul.ertl01@gmail.com<\/a> <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 28 – 30 September 2025<\/strong> The SALZBURG EUROPE SUMMIT will take place from 28 to 30 September 2025, which is organised for the 21st time by the Institute of the Regions of Europe (founded by the Chairman of our Knights of Honour, former Governor Prof. Dr. Franz Schausberger). In various formats \u2013 from discussion events and workshops to an excursion \u2013 this internationally renowned congress will explore the topic of \u2018Europe and Hope\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Under the honorary patronage of Austrian Federal President Alexander van der Bellen, the following are expected: Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Christian Stocker, Federal Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, Magnus Brunner, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, Adam Sz\u0142apka, EU Minister of Poland, Emil Hurezeanu, Foreign Minister of Romania, Cristina Gherasimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova, Igli Hasani, Foreign Minister of Albania and many more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As a new partner of this important conference, the Order of St. George will contribute its own colloquium to the programme for the first time: Led by the well-known moderator and journalist Claudia Reiterer, amongst others Grand Master Archduke Karl and our Knight of Honour Prof. Dr. Jan Peter Balkenende, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and appointed Minister of State by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander in 2022, will analyse the topic \u2018Integrity, Direction, Hope. Why the European Union must rediscover its values \u2013 and how can this be achieved?\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n An event that is equally interesting for all our Commanderies not only because of its European and Central European accents (comprehensive interpreting services are offered), but also because it offers the opportunity to establish valuable contacts and develop new networks.
