Convenings

To spark new thinking on visions of human-centered progress for the 21st century, the McQuillan Institute is organising a series of “constitutional convenings” to be held in the United States, France, South Africa, the United Kingdom, India, and Japan during 2026-2028. Each convening features a public conversation with distinguished academics, foundation heads, university administrators, political figures, religious thinkers, and civil society leaders.
