Politics, Law & International Relations Today, the world is more interconnected and interdependent than ever. Globalization, Terrorism, pandemics, climate change, poverty, human rights violations, financial crises, the rise of artificial intelligence, all affect us independently of the country or continent we live in. We are now in a moment of unprecedented change. Historically, evolution has been in nature s hands. Today, conversely, it is largely in human hands, but we need to be careful, using technology, cooperation and scientific progress as forces for good. The future of humanity is at stake. Today s young generation will collectively determine whether civilization and our planet survive or not. This track will explore how together we can address and overcome these global challenges of the 21 st century. IE University Summer Program 4

«Because you won t want to miss the life in the heart of Madrid and embrace the history and nature of our beautiful campus in Segovia. Why I love Madrid Madrid is modern, cosmopolitan and majestic. The city stands out in the world as one of its best capitals of art. I like to run in the El Retiro Park, which is the heart of the city, and where you can find peace in a vibrant metropolis. If you walk around the city you will be delighted by its wonderful architecture. I personally enjoy the contrast of the perfect symmetry of the Plaza Mayor and the fantastic modernist buildings in the Gran Via avenue. You can also stroll through the Barrio Salamanca and find apartment buildings that are masterpieces of design. In Madrid there s always something happening, whether it is academic or not, you never get bored in this city IE University Summer Program 10
Why I love Segovia The community is small and you are always meting friends around the city. It s a community of people that thrives on helping each other. Instead of a massive social circle and a big city, you get a tight-knit community where everybody gets along and learns about themselves and each other. It s incredible when you walk around campus and you hear so many languages, you meet so many people from different cultures and with different points of view. Everyone here is so unique that it makes this university unique as well. There s never a dull moment. The community is small and you are always meeting friends around the city IE University Summer Program 11
