The Swedish Atlantic Council (Svenska Atlantkommittén, SAK) is a non-partisan, non-governmental association promoting knowledge and a broad, informed debate on Swedish, European and transatlantic security and defence policy.
Sweden has been a member of NATO since 7 March 2024 and a member of the European Union since 1995. The Swedish Atlantic Council places particular emphasis on Sweden’s role and responsibilities as a NATO and EU member, collective defence, and the importance of a strong and enduring transatlantic relationship between Europe and North America.
The Council promotes dialogue and knowledge on deterrence and defence, European security, resilience, Sweden’s neighbourhood and the wider Euro-Atlantic security environment.
The Swedish Atlantic Council is a member of the Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA), an international network of 37 national organisations.
Through seminars, conferences, round-table discussions, study visits, international exchanges and other activities, the Council brings together policymakers, diplomats, military representatives, researchers, experts, students and members of the public.
