Events

sef: events provide an independent and international forum for creative thinking on urgent peace and development issues. They impart knowledge on global interdependences and their significance for all policy levels. Further, they stimulate political discourse.

At our events, we bring present and future political decision-makers, their advisors and academic experts, civil society and the business community in a constructive dialogue. We mediate between academics, policy-makers and civil society and embed the views and perspectives of the “Global South” into the political debate.
