Diplomacy Lab launched by Master in European Governance’s students

The University of Luxembourg Diplomacy Lab recently held its formal launch event on Tuesday, 25 April in the presence of Foreign Minister Asselborn, MEP Tilly Metz and several ambassadors to Luxembourg. Prior to this official event, the Diplomacy Lab has already been working with students for months to prepare them for their careers and to give them practical insights into how diplomacy works. The University of Luxembourg Diplomacy Lab emerged from the merger of two student initiatives. After the pandemic, students from the Master in European Governance expressed the need to have shared activities outside of their classrooms. At the same time, students following HE Diego Brasioli's course (Italian ambassador to Luxembourg) wanted to organise something around the theme of diplomacy. Professor Anna-Lena Högenauer emphasised that the Diplomacy Lab is student centered. It is officially directed by HE Diego Brasioli, but is really by and for the students, focusing on their professional development, and working together on the topics and skills that interest them - she underlines.
