At the Policy Center for the New South, we have decided to embrace the digital opportunities brought forth by the pandemic to offer a virtual alternative to the Atlantic Dialogues conference: the AD Talks. Throughout 2 months, we organized 17 live discussions with 80 speakers from 37 countries, on the COVID-19 crisis viewed from the Southern Atlantic through geopolitical and economic lenses. You were more than 25 000 viewers to watch the AD Talks, and ask your questions to international experts in their fields. Thank you for joining us and see you next year for the 10th edition of the Atlantic Dialogues. In the meantime, catch up on all of the sessions on ad.policycenter.ma
