Meet our speakers
Rumtin Sepasspour is a former Policy Officer at Australia's Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, where he worked on foreign policy and national security issues. As a CSER Research Affiliate, he is publishing a series of papers on how national governments can manage global catastrophic risks. He is also leading a project on building the policy capability of the existential and global catastrophic risk research community.
His talk will address the community gaps within long-term policy work and how to improve them.
Our second speaker is Natasja van der Geest. She studied economics and European studies, worked to promote trade with the Netherlands in both Bolivia and China. Currently she is Deputy Head of the Strategic Advisory Unit, a group within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that concerns itself with strategic advice for all matters within the Ministry such as resources security, ‘eurogovernance’ and the effects of technological developments.
Her talk will be about how she connects science with policy making in her job, a subject interesting to many people in EA. We hope to see you there!
