DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Inviting specialists to talk about their experience, is there any better way to cast light on the mechanics of the diplomatic community?
Briefly stated, our mission is to expose students to the wide range of possibilities linked to diplomacy. To fulfill this mission we organize numerous conferences each year, which demystify the diplomatic world.
Our events offer new insight into a diplomat’s activities and contemporary issues. These are unique opportunities to talk with individuals who are experts in their field and learn more about their professional and personal backgrounds and to discuss specific topics.
Working in our conference department is an excellent opportunity for any students wishing to gain extra-curricular experience. They will develop their sense of initiative and responsibility, and will be part of a tigh tknit team as well as a larger community of students passionate about diplomacy and world affairs.

A WORD FROM THE CO-HEADS OF DEPARTMENT

Alix Dufour 

 

“I joined SDSA as a member of the Conference Department in October 2021. In my opinion, it constitutes and ideal way to give a concrete meaning to my studies, to actively take part in projects within an association upholding values I share. Given that my strongest will is learning to think on our world, involving myself in an association to tackle diplomatic stakes outside of my studies is in my opinion a source of personal and professional growth.”

 

 

Thomas Cerruti-Vauthier 

“Member of the SDSA since the beginning of 2022, I joined the Conference Department in order to efficiently apply the theoretical knowledge learned thanks to the Bachelor in Political Science. Having traveled a lot during my childhood, diplomacy has always been an obvious choice to me, and the field that I’m particularly interested in is that of project realization, therefore the values embodied by the SDSA are in perfect harmony with my professional project.“

 

 

 

MEMBRES ACTIFS-IVES

Ivan Deiana 

“I joined the SDSA in February 2019. Having long been passionate about the notion of the “international”, it seems to me that this framework is essential today. It is because our world is interconnected and every destabilization implies a domino effect, that it is today essential to look beyond national borders in order to find common solutions to the world’s problems. The SDSA is the best gateway to this and to get an idea of the many dimensions of this sphere.“
