Republic Forum

Republic Forum brings people together for focused conversations about civic and policy questions. Each discussion starts from a defined question and gives participants with different perspectives room to make their case.

Formats

01

Briefings

Short sessions, often online, that set out the facts of an issue and the questions it raises.

02

Roundtables

Moderated discussions among a small group with relevant experience.

03

Public conversations

Open events where speakers take questions from the audience.

04

Transatlantic exchanges

Discussions comparing how the United States and Europe approach a shared problem.

Republic Forum

How discussions work

Every Forum session has a stated question, a moderator, and ground rules that keep the exchange respectful and on topic. Speakers are chosen for their knowledge and the range of views they bring, not for agreement with Republic.

Taking part

Forum sessions are listed on the Events page with details on how to attend, and announced to subscribers.
