‘Cum Laude’ for a student recipient of F-ICIP aid

Alessandro Demurtas, a recipient of a pre-doctoral F-ICIP grant, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation at the Department of Public Law and Historical Legal Sciences of the Autonomous University of Barcelona on November 4. Demurtas was awarded a summa cum laude for his dissertation, directed by Rafael Grasa and Laura Feliu, entitled ‘The European Regional Security Complex Between 2001 and 2011 Regarding Islamist Terrorist Threats and Weapons of Mass Destruction’. The results of this research will soon be published in the ICIP Working Papers collection.
The F-ICIP grants, managed by the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR), are intended for the hiring of novice research personnel by universities and research centers, with the aim of promoting research in the field of peace and conflict resolution.
