LSESU WAR STUDIES SOCIETY
EVENTS
The War Studies Society organises multiple events per month, featuring international high-profile guest speakers. The Society aims to offer a platform for students to engage with experts in the field, complementing their academic curriculums and providing them with greater insights into the real-world application of their studies. Regular social events are also organized.
European External Action Services: A Career in Crisis Response in the EU
On the 24th of October the LSESU War Studies Society was pleased to invite Dr. Andrea Ricci and Massimo Farrugia. Both speakers have had 20 + years work experience within the European Union and provided engaging insights on how to start a career in the institution!
Dr. Andrea Ricci worked for both the European Commission, and is currently working for the EEAS as a Risk Analyst and crisis response expert. Mr. Massimo Farrugia has worked in the European Parliament and currently works at the EEAS, specialising in conflict prevention.
The event allowed the audience to interact with the speakers in our 30 minute Q&A session followed by one-to-one discussions ! The networking aspect was highly successful and the LSESU WSS want to personally thank our partners at University College London and Kings College London in the preparation of the event.
International Organizations in Crisis: Palestine, Paralysis, and Progress:
As we marked one year since the events of October 7, the LSESU War Studies Society hosted a crucial and thought-provoking discussion on the role of international organisations in the ongoing crisis. We brought together five leading experts specializing in Middle Eastern security, international institutions, and humanitarian emergencies to explore these key questions.
Together, we unpacked the role international organisations have played in responding to the humanitarian emergency in Gaza over the past year, examine how other global actors have influenced or hindered these efforts, and discuss the lessons learned for future crises. This event aimed to sharpen our audience's understanding of arguably one of the most pressing humanitarian crises plaguing the global stage today.
Stay tuned for more panel events by the WSS!
