University lecturers and graduate students are invited as guest speakers, and asked to describe the main challenges of the country they do research on or, in some cases, where they actually come from.
Their presentations are followed by questions and discussion. Although most of the students are doing degrees in international development, the seminars are also attracting students from a wide range of subjects.
In the picture to the right, Felix Martin, DPhil student at University College and member of the European Stability Initiative, presents on Bosnia, where he spent two years as a member of the World Bank staff.
