The Three Seas Initiative was launched to develop infrastructure links between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas. At the latest summit, held in Romania on Sept. 6 and 7, Greece formally joined the 12 founding members, confirming the vitality of the forum established seven years ago and increasing its projection toward the Mediterranean.

In this conference, sponsored by the Machiavelli Center for Political and Strategic Studies together with Heritage Foundation and with the contribution of Augustus Foundation, the Initiative's development will be discussed, with a focus on the Italian perspective.

The event will be held on Monday, September 18, 2023, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the Matteotti Room of Palazzo Theodoli-Bianchelli, Chamber of Deputies, at Piazza del Parlamento 19.
