Our graduates are transforming their teams, organisations, and the way humanitarian aid is delivered in 82 countries around the world.
Our research agenda looks beyond the academic to how communities, organisations and individuals are meeting the challenge of leadership in the humanitarian system and a changing world.
We specialise in convening groups of humanitarian actors with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and create space for the challenging but necessary conversations about how to transform the humanitarian system.
