We congratulate all panelists who participated in the rigorous, multi-disciplinary and diverse program!\n<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\tAlthough the conference proved to be particularly pertinent to graduate students of the institute who were defending their theses in the following weeks, advanced bachelor students and early stage doctoral students of the university were also encouraged to apply and showcase their works, research projects or papers. As part of the conference format, participants received specialized feedback from fellows, faculty and doctoral students. In all, <strong>13 students of the institute participated in the landmark conference.\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\tIndividual presenters were grouped into three panels consisting of 3-5 students, who were each allotted 15 minutes to present their research, allowing both smooth transitions between topics and enough time for effective discussion. Each panel then carried out a 45 minute discussion, Q&amp;A and commentary directed towards all presenters, allowing each individual the opportunity to defend their work and expand on their ideas.\n<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\tThis year, topics ranged from cybersecurity and integration to norms and the rule of law, with the 13 students <strong>representing all three English-language master\u2019s programs <\/strong>at the Skytte Institute. It was a close race, but the prize \u2013 a 100 EUR voucher valid for the purchase of books, audio-visuals, and other materials \u2013 was awarded to Mariia Khrapunenko (IRRS), who focused on the representation of the European Union\u2019s interests at the UN-level.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n\tStay tuned for more opportunities to join the NearEU\u2019s upcoming conferences, events, and competitions!
