Conference LusoGlobe - Global Challenges Seminar 2025-2026
The conference brings together experts to discuss AI, democracy, international security, and public policy in response to evolving global challenges
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
The LusoGlobe Conference is dedicated to analysing contemporary global challenges, bringing together experts around four central themes: artificial intelligence and PPE, democracy, international security, and social intervention.
The conference proposes an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, connecting different fields of knowledge to reflect on ongoing transformations in political systems, security dynamics, and social responses to inequality and emerging crises. By integrating academic and applied perspectives, the event promotes dialogue between research, teaching, and public policy development.
In connection with the PPE Bridge initiative, the event reinforces the role of international academic networks in producing relevant knowledge and building collaborative responses to complex challenges, contributing to LusoGlobe’s positioning as a platform linking research, education, and societal impact.
