SUMMARY:Spring academy - Explore the digitalisation of sustainability due diligence
DESCRIPTION:This innovative four-day training programme combines theory and practice\, featuring lectures by academics and workshops led by industry experts. You will gain a deep understanding of key technological solutions for sustainable due diligence\, empowering you to drive responsible business practices. \n\n\n\nAs large European companies face legal requirements to carry out sustainability due diligence\, the question of how this new form of transnational governance is implemented has become more critical than ever. Many organisations are turning to digital solutions like AI\, blockchain\, data mining\, and survey tools to embed sustainability into their operations and mitigate risks of adverse human rights or environmental impacts. \n\n\n\nEngaging at the forefront of developments in big data technologies and sustainability due diligence\, the Asser Institute released a 2023 report commissioned by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit This link opens in a new tab (GIZ). \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the academic coordinators of the spring academy\, Dr Antoine Duval and Dr Klaas Eller\, initiated the interdisciplinary DigiChain project This link opens in a new tab with the support of the University of Amsterdam and the Asser Institute. The project brings together researchers from different UvA faculties to explore the digital turn This link opens in a new tab in sustainability due diligence.  \n\n\n\nBuilt on our research in this area\, this course is designed to equip you with the skills to address the complexities of digitalisation within the transnational governance of value chains – promoting human rights and environmental protection on a global scale. \n\n\n\nThe four-day programme will focus on the following issues:  \n\n\n\n\nDay 1: Foundations of digitalised due diligence. Explore the theory of sustainability due diligence\, its reliance on digital tools\, and the risks and challenges posed by their adoption.\n\n\n\nDay 2: Mapping and tracing value chains. Discover digital tools for mapping supply chains and tracking products\, while discussing their role in corporate due diligence.\n\n\n\nDay 3: Risk identification and evaluation. Learn how AI and machine learning can identify and mitigate risks\, from social media analytics to satellite imagery.\n\n\n\nDay 4: Stakeholder engagement. Examine how digital tools facilitate meaningful consultations with workers and communities in a globalised world.\n\n\n\n\nYou have the flexibility to either enrol in the entire course (Regular fee: €1495) or choose specific training days. Individual training days are priced at a discounted rate of €495 and can be invoiced. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?This intensive course is designed for professionals\, researchers\, and anyone interested in leveraging digitalisation to address global challenges ethically and sustainably.We are continuously working to keep the programme up to date. Have a look at last year’s training programme.

SUMMARY:Paper launch: Spaces for deliberation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the virtual launch of “Spaces for deliberation: Eight spatial qualities for designing deliberative assemblies”\, a new paper by DemocracyNext’s Cities Programme Lead James MacDonald-Nelson\, and research fellow Gustav Kjær Vad Nielsen. \n\n\n\nThrough interviews with practitioners from Canada\, Colombia\, Belgium\, Denmark\, Australia\, and the USA\, this research explores some key spatial qualities for successful citizen deliberation. \n\n\n\nIn this special event\, the authors will describe their research on : \n\n\n\n-How lighting conditions affect participant energy\,-How acoustic properties influence group discussions\, and-Why proximity between different spaces matters for assembly flow. \n\n\n\nThey will also detail the tension between symbolic locations (like parliament buildings) and more flexible\, neutral environments. Learn more about the diverse approaches; from using university campuses and cultural centres\, to repurposing historic buildings with flexible furniture arrangements. \n\n\n\nHear from practitioners as they share how they balance practical needs with creating welcoming atmospheres through thoughtful material choices\, decorative elements\, and spatial arrangements. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re organising citizens’ assemblies or interested in democratic innovation\, this conversation offers insights for creating environments where diverse citizens can effectively deliberate on society’s challenges.

SUMMARY:The State as a Humanitarian Actor: What will the post-liberal humanitarian system look like?
DESCRIPTION:In this hybrid Humanitarian Studies Centre and Humanitarian Governance seminar\, Dr Oscar A. Gómez will critically confront the strong anti-State bias inherent in the liberal humanitarian system. \n\n\n\nBased on the assumptions of incapacity or unwillingness to meet humanitarian needs\, humanitarian studies primarily focus on non-state actors. This is problematic for several reasons\, as it perpetuates the colonial structure of humanitarianism\, wherein wealthy Western states act as benefactors through (also Western) non-state humanitarian actors who assist the weak and wicked rest.  \n\n\n\nDr Oscar A. Gómez will argue that any attempt to salvage humanitarianism from its colonial past and present necessitates recognizing and scrutinizing the state’s role as a humanitarian actor.  \n\n\n\nSo\, what kind of humanitarian actor is the State? What are its characteristics? How does it reshape our understanding of humanitarian action?  \n\n\n\nHe will present the case study of Colombia and its enduring struggle with multiple humanitarian needs to address these questions through both discourse and practice. In light of fundamental changes in international humanitarianism\, he will propose a profile of the State as a humanitarian actor\, outlining its primary features and implications for the future of humanitarianism.

SUMMARY:Shaping Collective Action for the Humanitarian Emergency in Sudan
DESCRIPTION:About this event \n\n\n\nJoin us for a Critical Dialogue reflecting on the role of diverse actors engaged in complex humanitarian contexts\, in particular the urgent and deteriorating situation in Sudan. With decreasing foreign aid\, we have a moral imperative to find alternative solutions to counter the rampant abuse and famine while assessing and mitigating risks. The aim of this session is to examine and explore the current and potentially increasing role of Netherlands-based actors\, including the private sector\, in responding to humanitarian crises. Recently the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade & Development published a Policy Letter emphasizing private sector-led initiatives\, specifically in food security and economic resilience in Sudan. This session will reflect on the implications for cross-sectorial collaboration moving forward. \n\n\n\nThis Dialogue will examine risks and possibilities\, including how different kinds of investments and engagement can be coordinated and leveraged\, while elevating and building from the existing efforts on the ground in Sudan. The Critical Dialogue aims to engage the diversity of actors in The Hague\, a city which convenes a broad ecosystem of actors in peace\, justice and humanitarian aid. \n\n\n\nThe expected outcome of the dialogue is a number of timely and forward-thinking considerations on decision making in response to the situation in Sudan nationally from the perspective of the Netherlands\, and in turn influencing international actors. We will record the outcomes of this Dialogue and invite follow-on ideas and engagement. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nScene setting panel \n\n\n\nThe panel will convene private sector actors\, humanitarian organisations\, financial institutions and ministry representatives to discuss risk assessment and in humanitarian crises focusing on Sudan. \n\n\n\nFacilitated dialogue \n\n\n\nThrough facilitated dialogue and breakouts the participants will engage in further critical discussions assessing risk within their roles\, envisioned partnerships based on Dutch policy brief. \n\n\n\nIntended target group \n\n\n\nThis event is intended for private sector actors and professionals who have some experience of humanitarian contexts and/ or working in/ with Sudan. \n\n\n\nThe event is organised with the input of humanitarian organisations. Prior to the event\, we will compile a list of sources on the current situation in Sudan to inform the dialogue. \n\n\n\nMore about Critical Dialogues \n\n\n\nIn line with the Humanity Hub’s mission to support and strengthen The Hague’s peace and justice ecosystem\, we aim to create a space to foster reflection and introspection as well as collaboration and action on shared challenges and marginalised topics. By bringing together diverse actors\, we create space to examine prevailing narratives\, explore cross-sectoral solutions\, and amplify underrepresented voices. These dialogues aim to strengthen collective action and shape more inclusive and effective approaches to global challenges. \n\n\n\nIf you register for this event and later are unable to attend\, please notify us or cancel your tickets so that we can account for your absence. \n\n\n\nWe may take photographs\, videos\, and recordings at our events for promotional purposes (e.g.\, on our website and social media). If you do not wish to appear in media\, please inform the event organizers upon arrival\, and you’ll be given a distinctive tag indicating your preference.

SUMMARY:Bijeenkomst pensioenregeling Partos & PwC
DESCRIPTION:Alle werkgevers moeten hun pensioenregeling aanpassen vanwege nieuwe pensioenwetgeving. Die aanpassingen moeten verwerkt zijn voor het einde van 2027. De wettelijk vereiste aanpassing zal waarschijnlijke nadelige consequenties hebben voor oudere medewerkers. Dat kan leiden tot kostbare compensatiemaatregelen. Samen met de pensioendeskundigen van PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)\, bespreken we dit onderwerp daarom met de leden. \n\n\n\nOp 30 april 2025 verzorgt PwC een presentatie over het nieuwe pensioenstelsel en de gevolgen hiervan. Hier zijn geen kosten aan verbonden. Tijdens deze presentatie geeft PwC een toelichting op de achtergrond en de consequenties van de nieuwe pensioenregelgeving. Ook benoemt PwC wat de mogelijkheden zijn voor aanpassing van de pensioenregeling en de uitvoering daarvan. Na afloop van de kennissessie is er een lunch georganiseerd. Schrijf je in voor de bijeenkomst via het aanmeldformulier onderaan deze pagina. \n\n\n\nProgramma\n\n\n\n10.00 Inloop \n\n\n\n10.30 Start van de bijeenkomst (Presentatie PwC & Interactieve break-out sessie) \n\n\n\n12.00 Einde bijeenkomst en tijd voor lunch \n\n\n\nMogelijkheden na de kennissessie\n\n\n\nDe mogelijkheden en een verder aanpassingstraject van de pensioenregeling verschilt per pensioenuitvoerder. Daarbij denken we aan de volgende aanpak: \n\n\n\nLeden kunnen zich ná deze algemene presentatie inschrijven voor ondersteuning door PwC bij de daadwerkelijke aanpassing van de pensioenregeling. Dat traject zal clustergewijs gebeuren. Verschillende leden die bij eenzelfde pensioenuitvoerder zitten\, zullen binnen een cluster gelijk optrekken in het proces. De inhoud van de pensioenregeling verschilt\, maar de aanpak is voor de leden binnen een cluster dan gelijk. Bijvoorbeeld eenzelfde aanpak voor alle leden bij Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn; en eenzelfde aanpak voor alle leden bij BeFrank. Voor de ondersteuning binnen dat cluster zal PwC een vaste prijs berekenen (afhankelijk van het aantal deelnemers per cluster). \n\n\n\nLeden kunnen natuurlijk ook ondersteuning op maat krijgen van PwC. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVoor de ondersteuning vanuit PwC zijn we gereduceerde tarieven overeengekomen. \n\n\n\nGraag horen wij of er vanuit de leden behoefte is voor deze pensioenondersteuning en voor de voorgestelde aanpak. Mocht je andere suggesties hebben\, dan zijn die ook welkom.

SUMMARY:Trauma and Memory: Intergenerational Memories of the Siege of Sarajevo
DESCRIPTION:Image by Pasanheco on Envato\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganised by: Leiden University College\, Hague Humanity Hub & Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law \n\n\n\nJoin us for the next edition in the Fireside Peace Chats event series! This edition focuses on themes of trauma and memory with guest speaker Emina Zoletic from the University of Warsaw.  \n\n\n\nEmina will talk about the Siege of Sarajevo\, which lasted from 5th April 1992 to 29th February 1996. Emina’s research engages with issues of national\, cultural\, and ethnic identity and postwar memories\, which intersect with traumatic memories and social justice issues. The central part of this research explores intergenerational war memories in Sarajevo and diasporic families across several locations in the EU and the USA. \n\n\n\nLooking at local and transnational dimensions\, it was essential to show how intergenerational transmission of war memories is processed\, experienced\, reshaped\, and activated by research interlocutors 30 years after the war. How is the siege of Sarajevo remembered by those who directly experienced it? How do war and migration memories play out in family and broader social\, political\, and cultural contexts? Looking at two groups helped the research to determine the influence of the broader victimhood narratives and how they are mediated through diaspora groups. Emina’s research demonstrates how\, on the level of family units\, there is a persistent inability to process and deal with traumatic memories in a space where re-traumatisation is ongoing\, which affects the meaning-making processes. \n\n\n\nThis Edition’s Guest Speaker\n\n\n\nEmina Zoletic is a doctoral candidate at the University of Warsaw\, Centre for research social memories.  She is currently doing a CEEPUS fellowship (March-June) at the University of Vienna Institute of Sociology. She was a Fulbright visiting researcher at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs\, New York\, from 2023 to 2024. She leverages her background in psychology and a decade of clinical experience to focus on families from Sarajevo whose older members survived the war in Bosnia and their children born after the war.  \n\n\n\nMore About Fireside Peace Chats\n\n\n\nThe Fireside Peace Chats series is an event series consisting of informal\, intimate chats with peacebuilders who have either lived in for an extended period of time or are from conflict-affected environments. Fireside Peace Chats are a joint initiative of Leiden University College The Hague (LUC)\, Knowledge Platform for Security and Rule of the Law (KPSRL)\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH)\, with an aim to open a space where practice\, research and policy in peacebuilding come together in an informal way\, through experience of people on the ground. This initiative aims to contribute to a locally informed paradigm shift in liberal peacebuilding.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Service Delivery and the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Local public services\, such as healthcare\, clean water and social services\, have a great impact on our daily lives and well-being. However\, in many countries\, low-income communities often lack access to these important services. Local governments can improve access and make a difference. To do this\, they need sufficient capacity and resources\, and support from the central government. \n\n\n\nThe Inclusive Service Delivery and the SDGs course explores how the different levels of government can cooperate effectively to realise inclusive public service delivery. The Sustainable Development Goals provide a starting point for discussion and knowledge sharing. In particular\, we will address SDG 3 (good health and well-being)\, 5 (gender equality)\, 6 (clean water and sanitation)\, 8 (decent work and economic growth)\, 10 (reduced inequalities)\, 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and 16 (peace\, justice and strong institutions). The course discusses analytical tools and methods to finance local services. Attention will also be paid to policies to involve citizens and strategies to strengthen public-private cooperation. \n\n\n\nKey Information\n\n\n\nThis course is aimed at professionals working in the field of decentralisation\, local governance\, public service provision and development. Participants come form central\, regional and local governments\, NGOs and donor and development organisations.  \n\n\n\nThe course will take place in The Hague from 05 May 2025 to 16 May 2025. \n\n\n\nThe course fee is € 3\,895*. This includes all training related costs as well as drinks and warm lunches during the training days. Group discounts are available if you participate with three or more colleagues. \n\n\n\nThis training takes place in The Hague\, Netherlands. \n\n\n\nAfter this course\, you will receive a professional certificate of completion from The Hague Academy for Local Governance. \n\n\n\n*Professionals working in local government or for local NGOs on the DAC list of ODA-recipient countries (OECD) may qualify for a reduced course fee. Contact us for details. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nThis course will help you: \n\n\n\nIncrease their insight into the basic conditions for inclusive local service delivery; \n\n\n\nRecognize the roles of the different layers of government\, including central government in creating conditions and maintaining oversight; \n\n\n\nGain insight on the implication of the SDGs for local service delivery and local governments; \n\n\n\nIdentify the challenges and possibilities in financing service provision at the local level; \n\n\n\nEnhance collaboration and interaction between the public and private sectors (public-private partnerships)\, with the civil society and between central and local government.

SUMMARY:The Political Unconscious of Global China Studies "The Taiwan Consensus and the Ethos of Area Studies: Spectral Transitions"
DESCRIPTION:Image by Leungchopan on Envato\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the next edition of the Fireside Peace Chats event series\, titled “The Political Unconcious of Global China Studies\,” in which we will discuss his recent work The Taiwan Consensus and the Ethos of Area Studies: Spectral Transitions. \n\n\n\nThe reason why consideration of the political unconscious in relation to transitions is essential to the discussion of Global China Studies is that the “apparatus of area” in which Global China Studies participates and of which it is an exemplary instance is ultimately a means for “managing\,” in a rather large and abstract sense\, both the meaning and the process of transition. The Taiwan Consensus and the Ethos of Area Studies: Spectral Transitions constitutes a timely intervention into debates over the status of Taiwan\, at a moment when discussions of democracy and autocracy\, imperialism and agency\, unipolarity and multipolarity\, dominate the intellectual agenda of the day. Pursuing a parallel trajectory that is both epistemic and historical\, that is traced out in relation both to Taiwan’s recent history and to the disparate forms of knowledge production about that history\, this work engages in scholarly debate about some of the burning issues of our time\, including transitional justice\, hegemony and conspiracy in the digital age\, debt regimes\, cultural difference\, national language\, and the traumatic legacies of war\, colonialism\, anticommunism\, antiblackness\, and neoliberalism.  \n\n\n\nThis Edition’s Guest Speaker\n\n\n\nJon Douglas Solomon is a professor in the Department of Chinese Literature\, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 and a researcher attached to the Centre de Recherches Plurilingues et Multidisciplinaires\, Université Paris Nanterre. His publications have focused on the biopolitics of translation\, developing a critique of the disciplinary divisions of the Humanities in their relation to the economic and political divisions of the postcolonial world. Recent publications include a book in Chinese about the 2019 Hong Kong anti-ELAB movement\, A Genealogy of Defeat of the Left: Translation\, Transition\, and Bordering in the anti-ELAB Movement in Hong Kong\, and an article in English titled Logistical Species and Translational Process: A Critique of the Colonial—Imperial Modernity that appeared in the Montreal-based journal Intermédialités. More information about his 2023 book The Taiwan Consensus and the Ethos of Area Studies: Spectral Transitions is available here. \n\n\n\nMore About Fireside Peace Chats\n\n\n\nThe Fireside Peace Chats series is an event series consisting of informal\, intimate chats with peacebuilders who have either lived in for an extended period of time or are from conflict-affected environments. Fireside Peace Chats are a joint initiative of Leiden University College The Hague (LUC)\, Knowledge Platform for Security and Rule of the Law (KPSRL)\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH)\, with an aim to open a space where practice\, research and policy in peacebuilding come together in an informal way\, through experience of people on the ground.

SUMMARY:Expert Meeting on the Humanitarian Crisis in Eastern DRC (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:Image by Stichting Vluchteling\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the conversation on the 6th of March this year\, KUNO organises this meeting to take stock of the challenges in responding to the humanitarian needs in the region.  \n\n\n\nAbout the event\n\n\n\nSince the rapid offensive by M23 rebels and the seizure of Goma and Bukavu\, the Eastern DRC is experiencing a severe\, escalated humanitarian crisis. UNHCR reports that some million people are estimated to be displaced in North and South Kivu. Sexual and gender-based violence has surged alarmingly.

SUMMARY:Rules for a lawless world? The international legal order in an age of great-power struggle for normative primacy
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is part of the symposium ‘Rules for a Lawless World?’\, which explores the state and future of the international legal order in an age of great-power rivalry. \n\n\n\nThe symposium explores the consequences of the struggle for global normative primacy between China and the USA and their respective allies\, for the prospect of a law-governed world\, or its potential collapse. Focusing on the ordering\, protective and emancipatory functions of international law\, it seeks to grasp the state and direction of the international legal order—whether we are witnessing the breakdown of existing legal norms\, their pervasive violation\, or their replacement with alternative standards. Ultimately\, the symposium probes how great-power rivalry affects humanity’s aspiration for a world ruled by the force of law\, and not the law of force. \n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\n\n\nAgnès Callamard\, Secretary General at Amnesty InternationalDr Agnès Callamard is Secretary General at Amnesty International. She leads the organization’s human rights work and is its chief spokesperson. She is responsible for providing overall leadership of the International Secretariat\, including setting the strategic direction for the organisation and managing relations with Amnesty International’s national entities. Dr. Callamard has been a prominent figure in the human rights world for decades.
