Invitation​

Together, we will mark 10 years of global impact, celebrate our vibrant international community, and honour the strategic partnerships that have shaped our journey. Especially in these times of declining attention for international collaboration - and the high urgency to invest in it - we want to reflect on a decade of meaningful global engagement and look ahead to what the future holds. ​​

We look forward to seeing you there!
