Different types of sessions take place during the course of the Summit on the Global Agenda:
The Summit is aimed at shaping the intellectual debate around the global agenda and providing ground to
address the most pressing global challenges in a time of fundamental, transformative change. In
particular, the Summit is designed to focus on Council and network interactions so as to identify salient
issues, analyse major trends and drivers affecting those issues and explore new models needed in the
current global context.
Information on exact session times and rooms will be noted in the final programme available at
registration.
Council Working Sessions
Individual councils meet to discuss their issue, coalesce on their focus areas as well as evaluate major
trends and drivers that are challenging the utility and understanding of current systems and prevailing
theories in their domain. Each Council identifies what new models are emerging to understand and, even
possibly predict, the influence and impact of such trends and drivers in their particular domain. The
sessions are designed to catalyse collaborative thinking and active engagement, as well as to further
develop a work plan for the council term.
Cross-Council Discussions
Council Members take part in inter-Council meetings to discuss findings around new models and gather
input for each other’s Council work.
Plenary Sessions

outcomes for the Global Agenda in preparation of the Annual Meeting 2012 and next steps for the
