The Ernest Bevin Lectures offer a platform for thoughtful leadership on the most pressing global issues of our time. Inaugurated in 2025 and held annually in Westminster, the lectures commemorate the achievements of a remarkable wartime leader and Foreign Secretary, and the lasting contributions he made to Britain's national security and prosperity. Organised by the Coalition for Global Prosperity, the Ernest Bevin Lectures bring together leaders, policymakers, academia, and civil society to discuss the foremost defence and national security challenges of the day.
“I hope you hear an argument you haven’t heard before. I hope you find yourself being challenged. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to ask questions. So that’s why I would encourage you to come to the next Ernest Bevin Lecture.”
