Who can apply? Young leaders from around the Atlantic basin and Africa, who have shown leadership and initiative in their fields; who want to help shape the regional and global agenda in politics, finance, business, civil society, and other areas; who are keen to connect with their peers and older leaders; and who aim to build and strengthen ties across the Atlantic.

The Policy Center for the New South (PCNS) is organizing the 13th edition of the Atlantic Dialogues Conference, a high-level conference bringing together influential leaders from the public and private sectors around the Atlantic Basin for open, informal discussions on cross-regional issues.

As we believe it's crucial to involve young leaders in policy-making and shaping narratives, PCNS encourages dialogue across generations during the conference and beyond, between experts, officials, and high-potential change-makers, through its Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders program (ADEL).

The ADEL program is PCNS’s flagship young professionals program, held three days before the Atlantic Dialogues conference. Each year, this program gathers 30 to 50 young leaders from around the Atlantic basin. These emerging leaders have demonstrated leadership abilities and a strong commitment to social and economic issues facing their communities and the world. In 2024, 40 young professionals will be selected to participate in the Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program.

The ADEL program will hold its 11th edition from December 8-12, 2024, in Rabat, Morocco. The Emerging Leaders will then join the Atlantic Dialogues Conference from December 12th to 14th.
