The first episode of the WIIS Campus podcast focuses on the reasons and the individuals behind the project. The board of the association, consisting of five ambitious young women coming from different academic backgrounds and countries - Andreia Rodrigues, Ismérie Goemaere-Barbier and Ellée Civadova, in addition to the two Presidents - explains why community building, skills development and professionalisation matter to them. They present their vision for WIIS Campus and their hopes for the peace and security field in the future. 

Benefiting from the support and the trust of its mother association, WIIS Campus aspires to be a bridge between the WIIS Brussels community of established professionals and the next generation of female leaders. WIIS Campus targets soon-to-be and recently graduated women to extend and adapt the activities of WIIS Brussels to the University, through mentoring sessions, policy discussions and community building. From two, then five and now seventeen passionate individuals, the team of WIIS Campus is growing rapidly, so stay connected to not miss out on our future activities!

Teri Schultz and Larysa Lacko discuss the issue of gender equality in the European Union institutions with Cristina Gallach, Spanish Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Ibero-America and the Caribbean, Christian Leffler, the former Deputy Secretary General for Economic and Global Issues and retired Swedish diplomat, and Corinna Horst, Deputy Director of the Brussels Office of the German Marshall Fund.

In this episode, they address EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell’s recent decisions to fill three out of four high level jobs in the EEAS with men. This led Corinna Horst to write and publish an open letter to EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell. There is a long way to go to reach gender equality in staffing in EU institutions – the group discusses ideas on how to do this.
