Impacting health, the environment and global governance. The challenges of taking a security approach.

Practical information
Through the bringing together of experts from the health and the environment field, "Impacting health, the environment and global governance. The challenges of taking a security approach." will stimulate a high level and interdisciplinary debate on the potential impacts of thinking of health and environmental issues as security issues.
The ‘securitization" process, by which an issue comes to be perceived as a security issue, of health and environmental issues will be put into perspective, and the potential impacts of this process on global governance structures and on the issues themselves will be debated, drawing on historical and practical case studies. Insights and recommendations on how to manage the securitization process more effectively should emerge from this process.
Seminar in English. By invitation only.

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.

The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
