Take Away | What you need to know about Higher Education Institutions as diplomatic institutions

On 4 October we held a talk titled: "Higher Education Institutions and Diplomacy: Never the Twain Shall Meet?".
🏫The talk highlighted how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) do not stand alone as ‘ivory towers’ separate from society and the economy.
Right after the event, STG Master Student Réka Heszterényi had a chance to ask a few questions to panellists Diane Stone, Chair of Global Policy at the STG, and Vera Axyonova, Marie Curie REWIRE Fellow at the University of Vienna.
🔍 They spoke about HEIs acting as diplomatic institutions and the Global North/South divide in knowledge production.
