Policy Pitch Conference 

September 17, 2019 | 09.30-17.00

Berliner Landeszentrale für politische Bildung
Hardenbergstraße 22-24, 10623 Berlin

 

For the first time since the start of our #womenps project in 2016, we are organising a research-oriented conference on the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda! After workshops in Tbilisi and Kyiv, we will come together with project alumni to meet relevant stakeholders in Berlin (the Federal Foreign Office, Medica Mondiale/Bündnis 1325, ICAN), and discuss pressing issues and specific aspects of the WPS agenda. This autumn, we will publish 5 Polis Briefs pitched during the conference and forward them to relevant decision-makers, in order to bring young and engaged voices into the debate.

The conference is open to the public! Please register via the form below. In case of any questions, don’t hesitate to contact miriam.mueller@polis180.org.

We will conclude the conference with an event (register here), where we will discuss Germany’s role in fostering the WPS agenda in the UN Security Council.

The participants of the #womenps Policy Pitch Conference are young experts and students working on the WPS Agenda in different contexts, such as international, national or non-governmental organisations and academia.
