Security Days 2025: Questioning Current Peace Efforts
Under the theme "Questioning Current Peace Efforts", the Security Policy Forum at the University of St. Gallen invites you to the Security Days from April 28–30, 2025. This unique, student-organized event series brings together students, experts, policymakers, and the general public to critically examine today’s most pressing security challenges.
All events are free and open to the public.
Because access to informed, critical dialogue should never be a privilege.
And perhaps peace does not begin with answers – but with the willingness to question them.

Security Days 2025: Questioning Current Peace Efforts
We are living in a time marked by geopolitical instability, persistent conflict, and an overwhelming flow of information. News cycles move quickly, certainty is rare – and yet, the consequences of inaction are real. In such a landscape, it is easy to feel powerless. But critical reflection begins not with certainty, but with the willingness to engage – and to question.
The Security Days were created as a space for thoughtful, open, and interdisciplinary dialogue.A forum where differing perspectives are not only expected, but essential.Where students, experts, and members of the public can come together to better understand the complexities of today’s global security challenges.
Over the course of three days, political leaders, military officials, humanitarian practitioners, diplomats, and scholars will gather in St.Gallen – not to offer definitive answers, but to explore urgent questions and examine what remains unresolved.
Together, we will ask: Where are current peace efforts falling short? What assumptions go unchallenged? And what might it take to imagine more just, inclusive, and durable forms of peace?
