Expert Briefings

Expert Briefings

We draw on our international network of academics and industry experts to provide keynote speakers, panels or full-scale conferences for briefing sessions, board meetings and executive development programmes. Our experts help frame clients' concerns in their wider geopolitical and economic context and encourage participants to engage with them in lively discussion and debate.

Recent examples

Case Study

Foreign Policy

We organised and hosted a two-day workshop in Central Europe which brought together 15 academic experts and government officials from Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

The experts discussed the main drivers of their states' foreign policies.

We then produced an analytical report that highlighted the key themes and future 'tipping points' that had emerged from the discussions.
