On 12–13 May 2026, three students from the Brussels School of Governance were selected to participate in the NATO Model Event 2026, hosted by the University of Bologna at the NATO Stability Policing Centre of Excellence in Vicenza, Italy.
Sara Sulaj and Francesco Fontana (MA Diplomacy and Global Governance), together with Lorenzo Vernetti (MA Global Security and Strategy), joined students from leading European universities for a high-level simulation of NATO decision-making processes. Representing NATO member states in a North Atlantic Council simulation, participants engaged in negotiations and strategic discussions on hybrid warfare, cybersecurity, disinformation, and collective defence. 🗣️
The event offered a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insight into NATO’s consensus-based decision-making process, while developing practical skills in diplomacy, negotiation, and policy analysis.
We are proud to see our students contributing to discussions on contemporary security challenges and representing the Brussels School of Governance in such a prestigious academic and professional setting. 👏
