A group of Master students in European governance has taken up the job of facilitating this understanding among their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Master students Donada Rata and Charles Dufour, as well as the doctoral candidate An\u0111ela Mi\u0107anovi\u0107 and postdoc Christophe Lesschaeve will join Josip Glaurdic, professor in political science, at the NATO Public Forum on 24 June. From The Hague, they will stream live updates, commentary, and behind-the-scenes insights on the social media channels of the Diplomacy Lab, a quasi-think tank run by Master students, dedicated to supporting public understanding of European affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left

In The Hague, the team will be able to promote the Institute\u2019s research and build networks with policy and academic stakeholders. The invitation to participate builds on Professor Glaurdi\u0107\u2019s work as a member of NATO\u2019s Civil Society Advisory Panel on Women, Peace, and Security.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donada continues, \u201cThe reason why this event is important for students is that what will be discussed at the forum can resonate in national politics and impact the security of Europe. Therefore, students of political science and anyone interested should observe, reflect on, and learn from it.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Institute of Political Science at the University of
