On 11 May 2023, a delegation of 26 visitors from the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) branch in Padova, Italy, visited the NATO Defense College.
The visit provided the participants with valuable insight into the activities of the College and allowed them to learn more about the opportunities offered by NDC to students or recent graduates. The delegation was led by Ms Beatrice Regolo, Vice-President of Seminars and Conferences.
Upon arrival, the delegation was received by the Italian Senior National Representative and Director of Enablement at the NATO Defense College, Brigadier General Riccardo Brizi, after which they attended a comprehensive briefing on the history, structure and main activities of the NDC. Finally, they heard a lecture delivered by NDC Senior Researcher Dr Marc Ozawa on “The Russia-Ukraine War and NATO”, followed by an engaging Q&A session.
ELSA is an international, independent, non-political, non-profit making organisation run by and for students and recent graduates, dedicated to academic and personal excellence in addition to their legal or law-related studies at university. The Association aims at providing its members a platform to develop their existing skills and acquire new ones; to interact with fellow students and experienced practitioners from different states and legal systems around Europe; and to be equipped for a professional life in an international environment, through mutual understanding, intercultural cooperation and the large variety of activities and projects the ELSA offers.
