It's already been a busy start to the new year, with many Greenland-related inquiries. So to say the obvious:

Grateful to @ggricius.bsky.social for her presentation on the EU's "never again" Arctic narrative.

Her expertise brought complex geopolitical strategies to life, showing students how EU external action works beyond traditional frameworks.
