Hectic days in Odense! Over the past two days, our first-year students from the Master in International Security and Law program took part in our annual two-day crisis simulation centered on a fictional scenario in the South China Sea.

Baltic crisis, cyber chaos, pipelines blown, NATO sweating—just another Monday in the classroom with our BA students in political science and Cand.Negot. They nailed it. They tuned in, negotiated, made decisions despite uncertainty. Props to Hendrik Huelss for co-running the madness.
