On Thursday 12 March, following our annual meeting, join us for a talk with Leif Pagrotsky, as he reflects on global change through the lens of a career spent at the heart of international politics and diplomacy.

Drawing on his experiences, Pagrotsky will move beyond the daily news cycle to share personal perspectives on leadership, geopolitics, and the forces shaping our world today.

At a time when the international order is under strain and diplomacy is being tested by rapid geopolitical, economic, and technological change, this conversation invites you to consider the deeper currents shaping international affairs, and what they mean for leaders, institutions, and societies navigating this new era.
