November 2023 – Online event
2023 Annual Lecture
In November we had planned to host our Annual Lecture to discuss ‘Perspectives for European Security to 2030 and beyond’ with guest speaker Rt Hon James Cleverly MP, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.
However, following the recent announcement from Downing Street, we would like to warmly congratulate James Cleverly MP and wish him every success in his new role as Secretary of State for the Home Department. Due to this unexpected change, however, our planned Annual lecture on Monday 27th November will now no longer go ahead.
