We’re the UK government’s experts in convening international policy dialogue. 

An Executive Agency of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, we’re proud to support UK foreign policy development and the international strategic priorities of His Majesty’s Government, bringing together experts, policy-makers and decision-takers to solve complex global issues. We’re also privileged to be a trusted partner for a range of foreign governments, international organisations, businesses and other actors keen to explore and resolve pressing global challenges.

Positioned within, yet independent of UK Government, we offer a broad view of emerging themes to inform our work with partners across diverse policy-making areas. Our value is in creating a space for partners to have the open, honest, and frank conversations that they are rarely able to have, away from day-to-day pressures and in a discreet setting.

Governments and partners return to and trust us to support them in pursuing their policy objectives, because we offer a combination of skills, discretion, and hospitality that no other organisation provides.

International in both outlook and reach, we remain rooted in our local community and are proud to have been based in Sussex since 1951.
