Invitation: 2025 Kaldor Centre Conference, Building bridges: Advancing refugee protection in a divided world
In a divided world, building bridges has never mattered more. As conflicts, funding crises and political divides reshape our world, we need ways to connect, collaborate and protect.
The 2025 Kaldor Centre Conference, Building bridges: Advancing refugee protection in a divided world, brings together policymakers, practitioners, scholars and civil society, including leaders with lived experience of displacement, who are doing exactly that.
This year’s line-up of speakers is an extraordinary mix of thought leaders— including keynote speakers Mohammed Naeem (Refugees International) and Hugh de Kretser (Australian Human Rights Commission).
