At the Paris School of International Affairs, we strive to provide a dynamic platform for debate and engagement. Throughout this academic year, PSIA has curated an exceptional events program, enabling our students to exchange directly with world-renowned experts, practitioners, and academics.

This year's events have addressed critical global challenges across a wide spectrum of topics, including the Middle East, Ukraine, the U.S. Presidential elections, security architecture - including European defense, climate change resilience, international energy transition trends, protecting human rights, war journalism, food security, terrorism, trade, and digital democracy.
