Over two days, the annual conference brings together Mistra Geopolitics Programme Directors Björn-Ola Linnér and Henrik Carlsen, research theme leads, researchers, communication team and PhD students from the Swedish core consortium partners.

The objective of the conference is to identify the Mistra Geoplitics legacy story, co-create synthesis research from the programme and prepare for the 50 outputs and the final conference taking place in 2024.

Participants will join parallel sessions and also learn more about impact stories, key outputs and external communication. This part of the conference is led by Mistra Geopolitics Communications Lead Maria Cole and facilitated by Ylva Rylander, Jane Birch and Nella Canales from SEI.

Core consortium partners include Linköping University, Lund University, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, Stockholm Environment Institute and Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. In addition, Adelphi and E3G will join as international partners.
