We know you are all busy, and often don’t have time to read long form reports – so we are providing our research in these easy access seminars to you can be across the ideas and ready for action!

The Meet the Ideas seminar series for June aims to spotlight different issues in relation to the politics of humanitarian knowledge and the changes that can bring about more inclusive and equitable approaches to research, analysis, and decision-making. 

As part of the Power, People and Local Leadership stream of the Humanitarian Horizons Programme, Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG) and our research partners examine inequalities embedded in the humanitarian system, the conditions that perpetuate them, and avenues for change.
