Beyond the UK Beyond the EU what in the world lies ahead

Outside the boundaries of the UK and the EU – what does the future hold globally?
This conference aims to expand our perspectives by shifting the focus from UK-EU relations to the vast majority of the world beyond these regions.
An expert speaker will address the economic and strategic challenges posed by the USA, followed by discussions and exchanges with specialists on other regions and influential powers from the largely non-aligned global majority.
The event will be moderated by John Edward, Head of Operations at the Scottish Council on Global Affairs.
