Resilience in Times of Uncertainty: Adapting to Global Complexity
Every Wednesday from 6:00-7:15 pm, you will have the chance to listen to lectures from experts across the world, participate in a workshop to build skills beneficial in an international conference environment, or take part in excursions. During the lectures, we will be looking at resilience from diverse perspectives, and examining how societies, institutions and individuals adapt to and overcome various challenges. After each lecture, there will be some time to discuss the topic. The workshops are aimed at imparting practical skills that are necessary in an international environment, particularly in the world of diplomacy.
Join us on Wednesdays at 6 PM for thought-provoking presentations, workshops, and excursions in person at the Hörsaal XV of the Main Building of the University of Bonn.

What is the Lecture Series?
The BIMUN/SINUB e.V. Lecture Series is organised by members of the executive committee of our association. We invite lecturers from different academic and professional backgrounds to share their knowledge and experiences relating to the semester's theme. We want to make current happenings in politics, international affairs, and public policy come alive for students and friends of the University of Bonn.
​
Time & Location:
Our weekly lecture series takes place on Wednesdays from 18:00h to 19:00h (6 to 7 p.m.) Berlin Time.
For in-person lectures, join us in Hörsaal XV at the University's Main Building (find a map of the main building here: https://t.ly/Hhmt6)

University Partnership & History:
The BIMUN Lecture Series is part of Studium Universale and a core component of the Certificate of Intercultural Competence program at the University of Bonn. Our program has been going strong since 2005 and has welcomed speakers from across Germany and around the world.
Language of Lectures:
Most of our lectures are held in English, but you will also find some German lectures based on the preference of the speakers.
