Amid struggling to deal with the disruption of our work and private lives due to the coronavirus pandemic, limiting social contact or self-isolating in order to halt the virus spread can become quite an ordeal for many of us. However, physical distancing should not equate social isolation. With this purpose in mind we are launching our RSI StayOn initiative –  a series of online talks led by our volunteer experts and partners you may know from regular RSI seminars, touching on the variety of issues of current common concern: long- and short-term political, social, economic and geostrategic effects of this global pandemic. We invite everyone interested to reflect and exchange views with regard to these matters during our 40-minute online meetings on ZOOM platform https://zoom.us/

Our next talk is scheduled for Thursday 17h CET (09 April 2020) and will cover possible security challenges of the coronavirus in Central and Eastern Europe.
