European Leaders Series

ISD’s European Leaders Series seeks to introduce key UK audiences to leading political figures from Europe, fostering increased understanding and creating important international linkages. The meetings are intended to facilitate a regular exchange of ideas and create an off-the-record space to address some of the most critical social, economic, security and foreign policy challenges facing Europe today, covering the core areas of ISD’s work.

The European Leaders Series opened in December 2010 with a policy dinner featuring Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission.
