Very much looking forward to giving lectures on climate policy, EU affairs and geopolitics at SAIS of Johns Hopkins University in Bologna in the coming academic year. Last May I already had the pleasure of meeting with faculty and students from all over the world and I was impressed by their curiosity, intelligence and drive to make the world a better place. So honoured that in June Rector Dehousse asked me to become Distinguished Visiting Professor. I will do my very best to share my knowledge and experience in an effort to help prepare the next generation of leaders for the daunting challenges they will face.
