SUMMARY:Public Lecture: An Anomaly in the Realist World - Power of a Small Country
DESCRIPTION:Stanford University and Vabamu Museum present this hybrid lecture \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn person and online \n\n\n\nAbout the event: Lithuania is a country with a millennia-long history and a very strongly developed sense of independence and statehood. Ever since Lithuania declared its independence in 1990\, a country of just 2.8 million has stood in support of freedom fighters everywhere. When Russia started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, Lithuania became a model of support\, sending equipment\, taking in thousands of refugees\, and standing with Ukraine on the diplomatic front. It is no secret that if Putin were to shift his march of aggression westward\, the Baltic states\, and among them Lithuania\, could become a potential target. For realists in this world\, it is a natural flow of history: the strong do what they can\, and the weak suffer what they must. But it is clear that Lithuania is not preparing for demise; it shows that a small country can wield power that is not calculated in numbers of people\, square kilometres of territory\, or military divisions. In this lecture\, Gabrielius Landsbergis will explore what gives a small country its power. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Gabrielius Landsbergis\, formerly the minister of foreign affairs of the Republic of Lithuania\, is the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Visiting Fellow at FSI\, effective September 15\, 2025. \n\n\n\nAs a Liautaud Fellow\, Landsbergis will be deeply enmeshed in the daily intellectual life of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, (FSI)\, with simultaneous affiliations with The Europe Center (TEC)\, and the Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). \n\n\n\nPrior to his appointment at Stanford\, Landsbergis served as the minister of foreign affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. Previously\, he was the chairman of the Homeland Union Party while concurrently a member of the Lithuanian Parliament. Before assuming these roles\, Landsbergis was also a member of the European Parliament and began his career as a diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. \n\n\n\nLandsbergis’ tenure serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs was defined by a value-based approach to foreign policy. During his time in office\, he cemented deepening transatlantic relations\, sustained support for Ukraine\, and the elevation of global partnerships as strategic pillars of Lithuania’s foreign policy. \n\n\n\n All CISAC events are scheduled using the Pacific Time Zone. \n\n\n\nNo filming or recording without express permission from speaker.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Energia\, AI ja julgeolek
DESCRIPTION:NY Eesti Haridusselts ja noortejuhatus kutsuvad teid Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli loengule: \n\n\n\n„Energia\, tehisintellekt ja julgeolek: milliseid insenere vajab uuenev maailm ja mida Eesti selleks teeb“ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElinor Toming\, TalTechi Arengufondi büroo juhataja\, tutvustab võimalusi välismaalastele õppimiseks Eestis. \n\n\n\n(Loeng toimub eesti keeles) \n\n\n\nMeil on õnn elada hetkes\, milles muutuvad ühekorraga nii majanduslikud\, tehnoloogilised kui ka geopoliitilised süsteemid. Teisisõnu on tegemist radikaalse paradigma muutusega\, kus tehisaru ei ole enam üks paljudest järjekordsetest uutest tehnoloogiatest vaid vältimatult realiseeruv kõikehõlmav infrastruktuur. \n\n\n\nTehisaru ei kasvata majandust iseenesest. Selle muudavad väärtuseks inimesed\, kes oskavad seda siduda energiasüsteemide\, tootmise\, kaitse\, taristu ja teiste keeruliste füüsiliste ning reguleeritud süsteemidega. Selle töö teevad päriselus ära insenerid\, kelle roll maailmas muutub üha olulisemaks. \n\n\n\nTallinna Tehnikaülikooli strateegilise juhtimise ja rahvusvahelise äri külalislektor Ergo Metsla räägib oma ettekandes\, milliseid oskuseid uuenev maailm vajab. Juttu tuleb tehisintellekti mõjust\, Eesti digiriigi järgmise arenguhüppe võimalustest ning riskist Euroopa võib AI arengus maha jääda. Lisaks ka sellest\, mida Eesti peab kohe ja lähiaastatel tegema\, et mitte rongist maha jääda ning milline on tehnikaülikooli roll selles ning mis samme on ülikool teinud. \n\n\n\nTalTechi Arengufondi büroo juhataja Elinor Toming tutvustab võimalusi välismaalastele (seal hulgas erisused väliseestlastele) õppimiseks Eestis. Millised on variandid – semester\, aasta või täisõpe –\, milline on rahaline pühendumus ning milliseid stipendiume ja toetusi on võimalik taotleda. Samuti avab Elinor\, kuidas on TalTech seotud ettevõtluse ja kiiresti arenevate tehnoloogiavaldkondadega\, pakkudes praktilist ja rahvusvahelist õpikogemust. Ettekandes saab ülevaate ka sellest\, millist väärtust annab Eestis õppimine nii karjäärivõimaluste kui ka sidemete loomise vaates. \n\n\n\nArengufondi kaudu on võimalus TalTech üliõpilastel kandideerida erasektori stipendiumitele. Viimase nelja aastaga on antud välja ligi 900 stipendiumi pea 2 miljoni euro väärtuses.
