It was an incredible and thought-provoking experience that I would gladly repeat again

The Globe exercise was a useful experience for me to understand the work within different organizations and the procedures done for crisis management. Is for sure a great experience if you are interested in international relations and crisis situations.

A team of two students (Bianca Andreea Nedelcu and Luiza Ganță) from the BA programmes in International Relations and European Studies & Security Studies(English line) from the Department of International Studies and Contemporary History participated in the summer edition of the GLOBE Simulation programme.
GLOBE is a mix of a traditional simulation game and crisis management exercise where students virtually navigate through a simulated conflict scenario in the Sahel region, focusing on Mali’s security and humanitarian situation.
The 2023 summer edition has involved 22 participants from several European Universities: OTH Regensburg, Babeș-Bolyai University, Dublin City University, University of Trento, and University of Glasgow.
The programme, run by the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg(Germany), has involved, for the second time, participants from Babeș-Bolyai University. The UBB team played the role of the Institute of Sahel Security Policy and, in partnership with students from the University of Trento had to draft a report on the non-state armed groups and the various actors involved in the conflict. The analysis was to support the work of the ECOWAS in the region, played by the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg(Germany).
During the three days of the simulation(12-15 June) exercise, the students conducted research activities which allowed them to apply the knowledge acquired in the field of International Relations. At the same time, it was an excellent opportunity to enhance their transversal skills and practice real-life scenarios.
