The annual Masterclass ‘Global Actors for Peace’ focuses on the non-state actors’ potential role in building a long-lasting interstate peace from an original global perspective.

How does Europe perceive itself as a global actor for peace and what is its role in an increasingly fragmented international system? The theme of this 6th edition – ‘Reassessing Europe’s Ambition’ – intends to investigate this set of questions.

At a time when war has returned to European territory, we question European ambitions to (re)-building a peaceful model of cooperation among peoples and states. For an entire week, international guests and speakers will meet and exchange with students and members of civil society in a series of open and hybrid conferences.
