On Thursday 7 November 2024, the Institute for Security Science and Technology (ISST) hosted its annual Vincent Briscoe Security Lecture.
This year’s speaker was Ambassador Yvette Stevens, former Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone to the UN. Ambassador Stevens is also an Imperial alumna, having graduated in the 1970s from the Department of Electrical Engineering (now Electrical and Electronic Engineering). She then went on to become Sierra Leone’s first female engineer before kickstarting her career at the UN.
Ambassador Stevens’ lecture, National security and resilience in the 21st century – the role of science and technology, is available to watch on the ISST’s YouTube channel.
