Over the past 25 years, we have welcomed over 8,000 course participants, hosted more than 10,000 event attendees and, through our network, more than 100,000 global connections have been made. In 2020, we will reflect on how the GCSP has evolved into what it is today. At the same time, we will look ahead and prepare to seize new opportunities.

As an international foundation serving a global community of individuals and organisations, it has become clear that people make peace and security possible. Our mission is to advance peace, security and international cooperation. We provide the knowledge, skills and network for effective and inclusive decision-making.

We believe that successful and forward-thinking leaders and organisations need to build a broad picture of what is happening in an increasingly connected world. We unravel the intricacies of geopolitics and help leaders develop new skills along with the agility to lead in times of tumultuous change. We create an inclusive environment for our global community from 184 nations and a variety of sectors to come together to exchange ideas and develop sustainable solutions for a more peaceful future.
