21st Century Diplomacy: The Challenges and Opportunities Diplomats Face in the Digital Age

Co-organised by l’Institut d’études internationales de Montréal (IEIM) at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) at Concordia University, this conference aims to discuss the challenges faced by state actors.

We have the pleasure to welcome two consul generals in Montreal, Mr. Walter Leuchs from Germany and Mr. Ziv Nevo Kulman from Israel, to provide some insight into their own challenges as they adapt to new technologies in their day-to-day work and to share some of their governments' best practices in this new digital diplomacy.

Please register in advance - this event is free but registration is required due to space limitations.
