Engaging the Tech Industry for Building Peace and Human Security

In this roundtable discussion, we are looking to gather ideas, suggestions, and guidance on how we can support, structure, and facilitate positive engagements between the tech sector and local civil societies. The focus will be particularly on those in fragile, crisis, and conflict-affected environments.

The roundtables will run from 4 to 6.30pm GMT on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 March.

The project leaders are:

• Jennifer Easterday, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Just Peace Labs
• Dr Mary Martin, Director of the UN Business and Human Security Initiative, LSE IDEAS
• Dr Vesna Bojičić Dželilović, Deputy Director of the Conflict Research Programme, LSE IDEAS
