Stockholm Explorative Talks BY The Hague
Nov 18, 2024

On November 13, Stockholms Akademiska Forum was invited to The Hague, the Netherlands, to organize, in cooperation with The Representation of European Commission in the Netherlands, the Swedish Embassy in The Hague and Leiden University, a Stockholm Explorative Talks BY The Hague with the theme Crossroads – What we meet, what we dream, what we fear.
MOVEMENT, FRACTURE, NARRATIVES – these are words that can be found in Ursula von der Leyen’s new political guidelines. Those and other words were explored by six researchers, four from Leiden University and two from Stockholm, who shared their interpretation of the word based on their subject area and experience.
From Stockholm, Ebba Theorell, Senior Lecturer in Teaching and Learning at Stockholm University, and Mark Bassin, Professor of Historical Geography at Södertörn University, participated. From Leiden University, Wilco van Dijk, economic psychology, Sarah Giest, public policy, Nienke de Graeff, bioethics, and Gianclaudio Malgieri, law and technology. Watch the video about the Team.
The Stockholm Explorative Talks were followed by a panel discussion with the Swedish Ambassador to the Netherlands, Johannes Oljelund, Klasja van de Ridder, Head of the Representation of the European Commission in the Netherlands, and René Cuperus, Senior Research Fellow EU & Global Affairs, at Institute Clingendael.
