Upcoming Events

Extra-curricular programming is a major feature of The Balsillie School experience. Students attend public lectures and participate in conferences and workshops.

Sponsored by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), the International Governance Speakers Series is the flagship lecture series at the School. It provides all students and faculty with an opportunity for close interaction with leading scholars as well as practitioners of global governance. Held monthly, the series is coordinated by the Distinguished Fellow and CIGI Chair, Prof. Jorge Heine.

Other seminar series at the School include a "Brown Bag Lunch" Series to showcase research by BSIA faculty, the International Human Rights Speakers Series, and the Informal Seminar and CIGI Junior Fellowship Series, professional development seminars for the doctoral and Master's-level students, respectively.
