This lunch will also be the occasion of the presentation of this year's scholarship award. Please have a look at the article written by Hugh Mayo on this event, and read the portrait of the youngest scholarship recepient in BCCD history here.
Dr Lars Bangert Struwe has conducted research on armed non-governmental actors including pirates since 2006. The research program was originally framed as a historical research program, but the hijacking of the Danish ship Danica White in 2007 changed this! Since then the research has focused on contemporary piracy as a high risk on the open seas. Today Lars is working as a researcher at the Centre for Military Studies, University of Copenhagen, where he is developing strategies to fight piracy.
