The Ideas Network 2030 was launched in September 2018 with the mission to provide an informal framework for individuals of the centre-right of British politics – along with other stakeholders interested in long-term trends and their effects on our economy, politics and society – to meet, discuss, evaluate and assess their relevance and importance to current politics in the United Kingdom. The Network is working with local, national and European stakeholders across politics, business, academia and society to drive change and nurture ideas.
Latest from the Network
On 3 and 4 September 2026, the Ideas Network 2030 brought speakers, policymakers and delegates together at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, for its Summer University - two days set deliberately apart from the news cycle to ask a harder question: what will the world look like by 2040, and what should the centre right do about it. Co-hosted with the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies and the Hanns Seidel Foundation, the event drew figures including Lord Hague, Markus Ferber MEP, Neil Shastri-Hurst MP, Klaus Welle, Sir Paul Collier, Sir Simon Clarke and David Goodhart, alongside policy specialists from across Britain and Europe.
