DNAK's Projects

Seminars

Organizing seminars are among the main activities of the Norwegian Atlantic Committee, and we regularly arrange lunch seminars at our office at Fridtjof Nansens plass 8 in the center of Oslo. We aim to provide a non-political, multidisciplinary platform where different actors can engage in open and free discussions on current issues. Our speakers are both Norwegian and international experts with different backgrounds: Researchers, ministers, politicians, military, media and organizations.
