Hands-On Security Speaker Series

The “Hands-On Security” Speaker Series invites senior policymakers and policy practitioners to discuss current challenges in international security and provide insights from their professional experience. The series offers a behind the scenes look at international politics: the negotiations, coordination, signaling, drafting, law-making, arm-twisting etc. Our speaker series aims to help bridge the gap between academia and practice by engaging officials with hands-on experience in the security and defence field and inspire our students’ future careers in the process.
