Knowledge is a rare commodity these days, and we need the platforms to disseminate it and to celebrate it. I believe deeply that GII is a core part of the shift that we need in the world so that we can more fully embrace nuance, and empathy, when it comes to global events, politics and society. How do we re-make global culture to be about truth, and perhaps even fundamentally about an innate feeling of what is good? It is through GII.

At a time when polarisation makes serious dialogue harder and multilateral institutions are under strain, the Global Ideas Initiative fills a genuine gap: a non-partisan platform where rigorous research meets civic commitment. What drew me to GII is its ambition to convene across sectors and borders while staying anchored in evidence and open exchange. That combination of intellectual seriousness and practical usefulness is rare, and worth building.
