International Security Research Colloquium

The Centre for International Security regularly organizes a research colloquium on topics 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, conventional and nuclear disarmament and arms control, to civil war, violence against civilians, and terrorism. It features academic scholars, post-docs and PhD students working at Berlin-based institutions as well as external guests.
