International Security Research Colloquium

The Centre for International Security regularly organizes a research colloquium on issues related to international security and defense. We aim to build a community of scholars, experts and policymakers interested in topics ranging from European and transatlantic security and defense cooperation, and conventional and nuclear disarmament and arms control, to civil war, violence against civilians, and terrorism. It features a variety of external and internal guests, such as academic scholars, post-docs and PhD students.
