The School of International Studies is launching the new edition of “The School of International Studies' Applied Workshops on Global Affairs", an initiative aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The three workshops will introduce students to specific problems of international security and global affairs by adopting a practical approach and innovative teaching methods (simulations, debates, role-play, etc.). Instructors are qualified experts and practitioners with direct knowledge in the relevant field. A short description of the programme is available in the box of download.

Application (deadline: August 25th 2023)
Each workshop is open to max 25 students: registration is mandatory. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis.
Please note that, as registration is open to a limited number of students, joining the workshops implies the assumption of a commitment to participate. Acceptable justifications for absence only include illness or other compelling reasons. Please note that participation in workshops does not constitute a valid excuse for absence in other teaching activities. Students engaged in simultaneous and incompatible teaching activities (e.g. crash courses, compulsory language courses) are requested not to attend the workshops.
By attending at least two workshops participating SIS students will earn two ‘extra credits’, which will be registered in their academic transcript of records. In addition, participation in each workshop will allow students to gain one virtual micro-credential for each workshop (further information available at https://education.ec.europa.eu/education-levels/higher-education/micro-c...).
Subject to availability of places, the seminars are also open to non-SIS Master's students (i.e. 'laurea magistrale' or 'laurea a ciclo unico') from the University of Trento. Please note that the awarding of credits to non-SIS students can only be undertaken if approved by their own Department.
