Dear All,

I would like to inform you that The Dartmouth Centre for Sea Power and Strategy at University of Plymouth will organise a webinar on the 2nd November (1600-1730 UK time) on Combating Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea: Lessons from the Horn of Africa Experience.

Professor James Bergeron (Honorary Professor at University of Plymouth and Political Advisor to Commander, Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM)) will provide us with a brief presentation on contemporary piracy while Mina Vlachandrea ( first civilian to receive an MA scholarship from Hellenic War Risks and HSE Manager, Alison Management Corp) will present some key findings from her MA thesis in Applied Strategy and International Security on:  Why is NATO naval military intervention crucial for the protection of merchant ships against piracy in the Gulf of Guinea. A Q&A session will follow the presentations.

I look forward to ‘seeing’ you on the 2nd November.
