UC Annual Conference 2023

17-18 November, 2023, Paris

Annual meeting of the UC senior network bringing together a variety of views, national and regional perspectives, opinions which are mainstream in some circles but controversial in others, and engaging in conversation in respectful and open-minded ways. A small group of carefully selected UC Fellows was took part in the conference proceedings. They served as discussants, moderators, and speakers, and some published their reflections of the event on our website.

 

Feedback from participants:

 

“I was truly thrilled to meet you and participate in the UC annual meeting. It was one of the best academic/public affairs gatherings I have been to in some time. It was a great mix of experts and points of view. I think the UC is a special community, and I was glad to get a chance to ‘come inside’ and be part of the discussion.”

 “It cannot be stressed enough how important is the work you do, bringing together scholars and practitioners from different ends of the ideological spectrum, and keeping the conversation going in these difficult times.”

“I wanted to thank you for an amazing conference this weekend. It was an amazing cast of speakers, a great set of conversations and topics, and a perfect organisation as usual. It’s not my first UC conference, but it’s like each time I rediscover the level, ties and uniqueness of our network. I feel truly privileged to be part of this community.”
