Dňa 6. decembra 2007 Inštitút pre verejné otázky zorganizoval medzinárodný workshop Nurturing Atlanticists in Central Eastern Europe – a Neglected Territory? Podujatie sa konalo v rámci projektu IVO Nurturing Atlanticists in Central Europe: the Role of Media, Education, and Public Diplomacy , podporeného German Marshall Fund of the U.S. Účastníci workshopu z Poľska, Českej republiky, USA a Slovenska sa venovali otázkam, ktoré súvisia so zahranično-politickými orientáciami obyvateľstva stredoeurópskych štátov, postojmi politických aktérov, stavom verejnej diskusie o transatlantickej spolupráci a rolou verejnej diplomacie v jej prehlbovaní.
