Alumni Insight events convene each month with professional contributions by GCSP Alumni on selected topics in international peace and security.

Is the EU on the path to strategic autonomy in security and defence? This Alumni Insight will discuss the challenges faced by the EU and its member states in an increasingly complex and competitive international environment. 

In January 2022, France will hold the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union and has the responsibility to push the EU’s strategic agenda forward for six months. Simultaneously, the campaign for the French presidential election will reach its climax.

Guest speaker:

• Colonel Dirk Hamann, Senior Defence Policy Analyst for EU Operations and EU-NATO Cooperation and German Exchange Officer at the French Ministry of Defence, GCSP Alumnus (Leadership in International Security Course, 2018)
• Colonel (retd) Dr Guy Vinet, International Security and Police Cooperation Expert, former Head Strategic Police Matters Unit, OSCE
