Fragile States are unlikely to reach the Millennium goals. Most of the actors, political as well as economical, are afraid to commit in these States because they are seen as too "dangerous".
This conference on fragile States aims to explain what kind of experiences -positive or negative - took place on the field. By explaining how and why they were a success or a failure, we wish to contribute better knowledge to the political actors and to the public.
The conference will begin with the presentation of a report edited by OECD. Our guests will present their experience on these States. We aim to question the stereotypes about fragile States and to make the public understand that they are not necessarily dangerous.

The Future of Space Cooperation: Challenges and Opportunities in the Trump II Era
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.

Strategic Autonomy and Asia amid Rising Geoeconomic Competition
Amid growing strategic and geopolitical uncertainty, Europe is grappling with the notion of its strategic autonomy. For Europe’s partners in Asia, the concept is also becoming increasingly salient as the world enters an era of structural transformation.

France-Germany, The Engine Under Pressure
Faced with a profoundly disrupted strategic and economic environment, Franco-German cooperation is more than ever the central pillar of Europe's future. The war in Ukraine, energy and technological dependence, and uncertainty about the strength of the transatlantic ties require urgent deepening of European sovereignty, both in terms of defence and economic and industrial competitiveness.
