SUMMARY:ISS Leadership Programme
DESCRIPTION:Lead with impact in a changing global landscape\nGlobal challenges are becoming more complex\, while funding and support for international cooperation are increasingly under pressure. This raises urgent questions for organizations working in development: how do you prepare for an uncertain future\, and how can you effectively integrate the latest social science insights into your policies and programmes? \nThis executive leadership programme is designed to help you navigate that complexity and strengthen your organisation’s impact in a rapidly changing world. \nAbout the programme\nThe programme starts on Tuesday\, 1 September 2026 at 15:00 and runs until the final session on 15 December 2026. It consists of eight sessions delivered in a hybrid format\, allowing participants to combine in-person and online learning. \nThe ISS Leadership Programme includes four face-to-face workshops in The Hague\, each lasting 2.5 hours\, alongside four online sessions of 1.5 hours. While in-person participation is encouraged\, all sessions can also be attended digitally\, making full remote participation possible. \nWith a group size of 15 to 20 participants\, the programme offers an interactive and focused learning environment for senior professionals from across the international development sector. \nDeveloped as part of the ISS Leadership Programme and in close collaboration with the Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre\, the course connects key themes such as resilience\, risk\, vulnerability\, and sustainable development. Participants are encouraged to translate insights directly into action within their own organisations. \nWho should attend\nThis course is aimed at experienced professionals with at least ten years of experience in international development. It is particularly relevant for managers\, leaders\, strategists\, monitoring and evaluation specialists\, and business developers. \nParticipants typically come from donor agencies\, international NGOs\, think tanks\, philanthropic foundations\, development consultancies\, and international development banks. The programme is also well suited for directors\, board members\, and management teams looking to strengthen their strategic leadership. \nWhat you will gain\nThroughout the programme\, you will develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindset needed to increase your organization’s impact. You will learn how to move beyond linear approaches and adopt more adaptive forms of programming\, drawing on complexity thinking to better address real-world challenges. You will gain insights into how development efforts can be strengthened by anticipating future risks and enhancing societal resilience\, while also learning from best practices across organizations. \nIn addition\, the programme focuses on practical skill-building. You will learn how to identify blind spots within your organization\, engage constructively with donors and investors\, and create safe and inclusive work environments where innovation is encouraged. \nOn a personal level\, the programme supports your development as a leader. It helps you build the confidence and creativity needed to challenge existing structures and to foster a more open and learning-oriented organizational culture. \nLearning experience\nThe learning experience is highly interactive and designed to encourage exchange between participants. You will work in a small group setting that offers space for reflection\, discussion\, and peer learning. Participants are invited to bring a colleague to one of the sessions\, and those joining from abroad can take part in an additional online intervision session at no extra cost. \nBeyond the sessions themselves\, you will become part of a dynamic network of peers and gain access to the ISS alumni community. \nPractical details\nEach session requires approximately two hours of preparation. All teaching materials are included in the programme\, and upon completion you will receive a certificate from the International Institute of Social Studies. The course fee is €2\,450. \nCourse materials\nAs part of the programme\, you will receive the book Foreign Aid and its Unintended Consequences by Professor Dirk-Jan Koch\, published by Routledge in 2024. This book is included in the course fee and will be sent to you by post upon acceptance. \nIn addition\, you will have access to a series of knowledge video clips that you can watch at your own pace in preparation for the sessions. \n	Apply now!

SUMMARY:[Short course] Climate litigation and regulation - International and European perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a training on climate litigation and regulation – one of the fastest-moving areas of the legal landscape today. This two-day course gives you a practical\, up-to-date understanding of that landscape – from international foundations to European regulation – so you can navigate it with confidence. \nIn recent years\, courts at every level – from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to national judiciaries – have fundamentally reshaped the legal obligations of governments and businesses on climate change. Civil society is also leveraging the law in many creative ways to hold public and private actors accountable. \nClimate litigation cases are growing both in number and success rate. Therefore\, understanding the content and application of international and regional climate law is becoming essential across sectors and roles. \nIn collaboration with SEVEN — the University of Amsterdam’s interdisciplinary climate institute\, we offer a short course providing a broad understanding of key areas in international and European climate law. \nDuring this course\, you will benefit from: \n\nAn informed understanding of international and European climate law\, including the latest developments of climate treaties and agreements.\nOverview of recent\, key climate litigation cases against states and corporations and their relevance for national and international climate policy.\nPractical and academic insights on the role of human rights in the pursuit of action on climate change.\nForward-looking reflection and interactive discussion on international and European climate law.\nOpportunities to engage with one another and the speakers through group work and case studies relevant to your own work.\n\nWho can attend?\nWe designed this programme for people who need practical answers\, not just abstract theory. The training applies to you whether you have a legal background or not. You will benefit from this course if you are: \n\nCivil servants and local policymakers: Learn how to audit your municipal decisions so you can protect your community and comply with human rights requirements.\nCorporate counsel and business staff: Understand what the new European regulations mean for supply chains and corporate policies\, so you know where to start before the deadlines hit.\nNGOs and strategic litigators: Connect with other advocates and refine your legal strategies based on the latest court victories and setbacks.\nAcademics and diplomats: Deepen your understanding of how international climate law evolves in real-time.\n\n  \nThe programme\nDay one focuses on the international stage\, covering the UN climate regime\, the ICJ Advisory Opinion on climate change\, climate obligations under international human rights law\, and strategic climate litigation. \nDay two zooms in on climate law in Europe\, looking at the European Climate Law and relevant regulations\, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the Klimaseniorinnen case\, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and climate obligations for corporations\, and the Energy Charter Treaty. \nInterested?\nRegistration for this course is now open. If you cannot join this year\, please fill out this form to stay informed about future editions and upcoming enrolment dates. \nFee: Both days: €1050 | Only day 1 or day 2: €595 \nNGOs attending with 2 or more members receive a 20% discount.

SUMMARY:Share this event  Sustain your Energy. Sustain your Impact. Part II
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 – Sustaining ourselves within systems. What changes when we stop looking only at ourselves and widen the lens?\nWe don’t work in isolation. Our energy\, motivation and ability to contribute are shaped by the teams\, organisations and wider systems we are part of. \nIn this interactive two-hour workshop\, we explore the conditions that help people stay engaged and effective – and those that make meaningful work unnecessarily difficult or draining. \nThrough short inputs\, reflection\, practical exercises and exchange with others\, we’ll look at themes such as team culture\, psychological safety\, workload and expectations\, belonging\, organisational support and influence. We’ll explore what we can change ourselves\, what we might influence together\, and what requires change at a more systemic level. \nWhat you’ll take away \nYou’ll leave with: \n\na better understanding of how your environment affects energy\, motivation and impact;\ninsight into conditions that support or undermine sustainable engagement;\na clearer view of where responsibility and influence sit;\nideas for changes and conversations you can take into your own context.\n\nWho is this for? \nFor people working towards positive change – including peace and justice\, climate and sustainability\, humanitarian action\, international cooperation and social impact. \nCome if you’re curious not only about how you can sustain your engagement\, but also how we can create environments that make sustained engagement more possible. \nPart of a two-workshop series \nThis is Part 2 of Sustain your Energy. Sustain your Impact. It can be attended as a standalone workshop – you do not need to have attended Part 1. \nFor the full journey\, we recommend joining both workshops. \nPart 1 – Sustaining yourself focuses on your own energy\, patterns\, boundaries and agency before Part 2 widens the perspective to our shared environments and systems. \nOffered in collaboration with The Hague Humanity Hub and Stroomversnellers\, with support from Stichting DOEN. \nPrivacy Policy\nThe Humanity Hub collects your name\, email\, and organization (if you have one) when you sign up for events\, so they can manage the event and tell you about future ones.

SUMMARY:[CLEER conference] The European Union as a sanctioning actor: Legal and institutional developments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the joint CLEER – MINOS conference that aims to take stock of the EU’s evolving sanctioning practice and to answer some of the most pressing conceptual\, normative and practical legal questions concerning this practice. \nOver the past decades\, the European Union (EU) has become one of the most active sanctioning actors. EU sanctions (restrictive measures) have expanded significantly in scope\, frequency\, and ambition. At this moment\, there are over 40 different EU sanctioning regimes in force. Some of them implement UN Security Council resolutions or expand them with stricter and additional measures. The EU also has a long history of imposing autonomous sanctions\, a trend that has been reinforced following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. \nThis increasing reliance on sanctions has been accompanied by important legal and institutional developments. Judicial scrutiny by the Court of Justice of the European Union\, evolving roles for the EU’s institutions and new anti-circumvention measures have all reshaped the EU sanctions practice. Continued tensions exist between the adoption of sanctions as part of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and other areas of EU law. Tackling sanctions of circumvention and ensuring the uniform and effective implementation of restrictive measures\, in full respect of fundamental rights and freedoms\, remains high on the agenda. \nThis event is co-organised by The Centre for the Law of EU External Relations (CLEER)\, the T.M.C. Asser Instituut\, and the Multidisciplinary International Network on Sanctions (MINOS) operating at Ghent University.
