As we face rapid changes and growing instability in the Wider Mediterranean, this series of talks aims to address pressing challenges and promote critical thinking. Students will have the chance to engage with experienced policymakers, journalists, and professionals who will share their insights and stories.

Our first guest is Ambassador Fernando Gentilini, Italian and EU diplomat with over twenty years of experience in crisis management, European affairs, and multilateral relations. Throughout his career, he has held significant positions, including EEAS Managing Director for the Middle East and North Africa and EU Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process.
