DEAR PARTNER, We are delighted to welcome you to the first edition of the RCC Conference at the London School of Economics and Political Science. For the first time, we will be hosting 120 international Master students and alumni from the LSE and the CEMS MIM " programme alongside world-renowned academics, influential political representatives and high-profile corporate speakers to share knowledge on the pressing issues and future challenges for Europe. In light of the fact that the Western world is fast losing its privileged position and whilst new actors assert themselves, the theme of this year’s conference will raise questions every future leader should bear in mind: “New World Order – What’s next for Europe?” Which economic and political role will Europe play in the future? Which trends are likely to influence the emerging new world order? How can Europe overcome its current political and economic crisis? With a combination of workshops, skills seminars, lectures, presentations and networking opportunities, this 3-day conference not only seeks to familiarise international master students with relevant debates on global issues but also intends to build a bridge between different stakeholders from different backgrounds to initiate closer cooperation and communication among them.
" " " " " " " " " " "
"
"
Inspired by the LSE’s school motto “Rerum Cognoscere Causas” – “to understand the causes of things” and out of the conviction that challenges of the 21st century require an ever-growing interplay of different actors, we hope this conference will lay the fruitful groundwork for future RCC Conferences. Thank you very much for your generous support, without which the conference would not be possible.
