The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change. This seminar will discuss the work of social entrepreneurs in conflict and post-conflict settings, and lessons from their work for anyone working in these uncertain times.

Faced with the war in Ukraine and the attitude of the Trump administration, European defence is now a top priority for the EU. At the same time, security is a central theme of the British government’s ‘reset’ with Brussels. As the EU argues internally about how to structure its defence procurement and we approach a potentially crucial EU-UK summit on May 19, speakers will discuss how the EU can best work with the UK and other non-EU states (e.g. Norway, Canada, Ukraine itself) for a more coherent, effective and self-sufficient European defence.
