Commander Kurt Engelen, guest lecturer at the Belgian Royal Military Academy, gave a lecture and workshop at RGSL on 26 November for Law and Diplomacy students on the institutional, procedural and diplomatic aspects of NATO-EU relations. The lecture is an integral part of the course ‘Introduction to diplomacy’.
The background of the guest speaker comprises academic experience (guest lecturer at the senior staff officers course at the Belgian Royal Military Academy) as well as practical experience (Reserve Commander and Counsellor for NATO-EU matters at the Belgian Representation to the Military Committee of NATO).
The lecture was followed by a crisis management simulation, in which students assumed the roles of counsellors to the ambassadors of different nations.
