Euro-SWAMOS 2022, funded by the Weise Stiftung and supported by the EISS (European Initiative for Security Studies), welcomed 19 fully-funded participants to the Hertie School from July 11-16, 2022.
Participants came together from all over Europe and engaged in six days of intense discussions on a range of international security topics with top experts from the Hertie School, Princeton, ETH Zurich, the US Department of Defense, University College London, MIT, and other institutions. Alongside these sessions, the group made connections through a social program including dinners and movie nights.
