• In an age of polarization and geopolitical competition – how are breakthroughs in international cooperation possible?  
• In what policy areas do we see the most potential and progress?  
• And what are the key catalysts for these breakthroughs – how may international cooperation be achieved?  

Join us for a talk by Professor Iver B. Neumann with the title 'Is international cooperation still possible?', following a short introduction with Professor Mai’a K. D. Cross (Northeastern University, US) .
