SUMMER SCHOOL ON SECURITY POLICY

Description

Young professionals, journalists, civil society activists and graduate students from Albania, Serbia and Kosovo are invited to apply for the Summer School in Security Policy in Montenegro. The Summer School is a joint initiative of three independent think-tanks specialised in security research: Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP), Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS), and Institute for Mediation and Democracy (IDM). During the school, the students will learn how civilians can analyse and research security policy, discuss about human, national and regional security issues in the Western Balkans, analyse linkages between security and democratisation issues in Albania, Serbia and Kosovo with their peers from these communities as well as think of proposals for overcoming challenges in bilateral and trilateral relations. They will apply this knowledge in their graduate studies or work.

The Summer School on Security Policy is a part of joint three-year long project Security Research Forum (SRF) Belgrade-Pristhina-Tirana funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
