The last few weeks have been very exciting for DROP. First, Prof. Oliver Ruppel was appointed as a member of the Council of the Centre for International Studies (CIS) of the European Law Faculty, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 14 April 2015. He also had the honour of attending the annual workshop of the Nansen Initiative Consultative Committee on the Protection Agenda on Disaster-Induced Displacement held by the Nansen Initiative, the Governments of Switzerland and Norway at Château de Bossey Conference Centre in Bogis-Bossey, Switzerland from 16-17 April 2015. And that is not all – the DROP Programme Manager also Oliver Ruppel attended the German Federal Foreign Office Training for International Diplomats Regional Alumni Meeting and gives a presentation on »Regional Integtration – The Future of African Foreign Affairs and Domestic Politics«, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 26-28 April 2015.

We hope you stay in touch and keep up to date with the developments at DROP.
