On January 23, HCSS organized the second ‘design session’ of its ‘Challenging Russia’ project. The well-attended session, which was co-organized with the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (known as VNO-NCW) brought together the different stakeholders in the Dutch-Russian relationship to identify promising new options to deal with a new Russia. Results from this project will be presented in a forthcoming HCSS publication.
