An experienced researcher from a renowned university will accompany the seminar as THESEUS Resident Researcher. Beyond own teaching the researcher will animate the debate and advice students on group and individual basis.

TEPSA Policy Paper by Hanna Ojanen “Nordic Defence Cooperation – inspiration for the EU or a lesson in matching expectations?”
The idea of deepening defence cooperation among the Nordic countries may still come as a surprise to many, all the more so as these countries now seem to be leaders in this field. Not only do they have practically daily concrete examples of cooperation – such as the 3-week training exercise in joint air surveillance in the Icelandic airspace in February 2014 – but also a recently-adopted political vision for the future development of this cooperation.
