World in Focus: Drone Threats in Europe
October 28, 2025
4:00 pm
Uris Hall, G08
Join Einaudi Center experts for World in Focus Talks on global events in the news and on your mind. Our faculty's research and policy insights put the world in focus.
This year we’re hosting informal campus discussions on many Tuesday afternoons. This week’s topic:
Hostile drone activity has risen sharply in Europe this fall. The incidents have shut down airports, heightened military alertness, and triggered diplomatic responses from NATO and EU countries. Many analysts believe the incursions are part of a Russian-led hybrid warfare campaign designed to disrupt aviation and critical infrastructure, probe defenses, and test NATO’s resolve.
How will different parts of Europe react to drone threats? What could be the impacts on international relations and the conflict in Ukraine?

Io Capitano
October 29, 2025
6:00 pm
Cornell Cinema
Io Capitano (translated as "I’m the Captain") is a contemporary drama capturing the journey of two young Senegalese men seeking a brighter future in Europe. Between their dreams and reality lies a treacherous journey through a labyrinth of checkpoints, the scorched Saharan desert, a fetid North African prison, and the vast waters of the Mediterranean where thousands have died packed inside vessels barely fit for passage. As they navigate dangerous sea crossings and uncertain borders, the film highlights the courage, desperation, and hope that drive migrants in search of safety and a better life.
Combining intimate storytelling with broader political context, Io Capitano offers a compelling look at modern migration challenges and the human stories behind the headlines.
Following the film, we will be joined by Tristan Ivory (assistant professor, global labor and work) and Gehad Madi (United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants).
Free admission! This event is part of the Migrations Program's film series at Cornell Cinema. Cosponsors include the Institute for African Development and the Institute for European Studies. All all are part of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies.
