What we do
Wilton Park brings fresh thinking to the development of international policy, advancing practical solutions to critical global issues.

We have been building and curating trusted global networks, connecting the public, private and third sector in dialogue, for 75 years. We mix experience, with new voices – todays’ policy leaders, decision makers and influencers connect with those of tomorrow. Together we develop new perspectives and deliver innovation in international policy. Our networks endure, with the conversation, collaboration and impact continuing long after the event ends.

We run around 70 events a year, facilitating dialogue wherever it is needed. Online, hybrid, face-to-face events run in the UK, internationally or from our secluded 16th century home in the English countryside. From short dialogues to residential and series dialogues, we work in partnership to help define objectives and design outcome driven solutions.
As a part of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), we support British foreign policy priorities and are core to the UK’s public diplomacy work. The networks we build and nurture create a lasting sense of connection to both Wilton Park and the UK.
