Dear all,
***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING***
With the present email we would like to kindly draw your attention to an event we are holding next Wednesday (28 November - 18:00-20:00, 210 Law Building, QMUL) for everyone interested interested in listening about the work of UNHCR and/or consider a career with them.
We will welcome two excellent contributors:
Jean-Francois Durieux will present the work of the UNHCR and his own experience within the organisation over more than three decades. The session will provide an overview of the past and current challenges confronting UNHCR, a fairly unique UN agency combining a protection mandate with an expanding role as a humanitarian relief provider in times of emergency and crisis. The second part of the event will be devoted to a reflection on what it means and what it takes to work in UNHCR and to make (or not) a career in the humanitarian field.
His presentation will be accompanied by insights from Max McClellan, who is Protection Associate in London's Office of UNHCR.
Students, practitioners and academics interested in the work of UNHCR either in order to understand better its role or for networking purposes are highly welcome to attend this event!
The event forms part of the events organised within the LLM in Immigration law specialisation, which is offered by very few institutions across Europe.
The event is free of charge, but registration is required via the following link:

Looking forward to seeing some of you there! Thank you for further promoting this event among your contacts, networks and students.
With all best wishes,
Niovi
