Australian Council on Foreign Relations

The Australian Council on Foreign Relations is an independent do-tank and the leading forum for corporate diplomacy, operating at the dynamic crossroads of diplomacy, economics, and culture. Our mission is to bridge the divide between global politics, business, and people; empowering individuals and institutions to excel on the global stage. Supported by a fully resourced in-house production and creative agency, we blend the analytical rigor of a data-driven research consultancy with the bold creativity and visionary impact of a design and media powerhouse, ensuring our programs not only resonate but inspire. Our innovative programs are designed to deepen international engagement, elevate diplomatic knowledge, and ignite global thought leadership. • Southern Lights fosters international engagement and cultural exchange for young professionals, • Terra Mundi blends global thought leadership and high-level policy discourse with creative and artistic productions through forums, roundtables, quarters, and immersive engagements, and • Pax Ludens specialises in geopolitical scenario planning, sharpening strategic insights and deepening understanding of global power dynamics through war game-style simulations and immersive scenarios.
