Conference with Dr Jane Lubchenco, Administrator - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
On April 20, 2010, America began its more than four month journey of response and recovery form the largest accidental oil spill in history. As the lead U.S. science agency for oil spill response, NOAA was on the scene from the first hours of this crisis, NOAA provided, and continues to provide, coordinated scientific, weather and biological information and products when and where they are needed. Dr Lubchenko will examine the role of science in informing the response and recovery efforts and in addressing long-term impacts in the Gulf of Mexico.

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
