VirtualReal World Lecture: What Threats Should we be Alert to in Today's Society?
As threats to national security continue to evolve, so too must the laws and policies designed to combat them. This session explores the changing threat landscape in the UK and examines how counterterrorism legislation has adapted over the past two decades in response to emerging risks and security challenges. Since the terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001 and in London on 7 July 2005, the UK Government has continually strengthened its security and counterterrorism framework. Often introduced in response to emerging threats, successful attacks, or intelligence-led concerns, these measures have significantly reshaped the UK's approach to national security. Beginning with the landmark Terrorism Act 2000, which provided a broad legal definition of terrorism, successive governments have introduced a further ten Acts of Parliament designed to address the changing nature of the threat landscape. This session will examine these legislative developments in detail, exploring their impact, effectiveness, and the challenges they seek to address. We will also consider the emergence of newer and increasingly complex threats, including a range of single-issue extremisms and other forms of harmful activity that may fall outside the scope of existing counterterrorism legislation. Understanding these emerging risks is essential to evaluating whether current laws remain fit for purpose. If you are interested in criminal law and human rights, then this is the event for you.
VirtualReal World Lecture: Why do entrepreneurs jump with faulty parachutes?
Consider jumping from a plane knowing your parachute has an 80-90% chance of failure and no backup. Would you still be willing to do it? This short lecture explores the reasons why entrepreneurs take these leaps of faith and how they deal with risk and uncertainty. We will address the illusion of control, understand the unknown unknowns of markets, the anatomy of resilience and case studies where pivots from original plans allow entrepreneurs to stitch the silk while they’re still in the air.
