Swiss International Institute Lausanne's participation
Professor Yuri Ovseenko, director of the Master of International Relations program at Swiss International Institute Lausanne, took part in the forum's events as a representative of the institute.
The institute's presence at an event of this level is directly connected to the content of the Master of International Relations program: the Davos agenda covers the same topics SIIL students study in their courses, but discussed by the leading figures of the global economy and politics.
