Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

To achieve our mission of a more free, just, and equitable society, we commit to working proactively to advance the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion across our myriad endeavors such as the recruitment, compensation, training, and advancement of staff. The best people-serving institutions make this commitment, and we seek to be a leader in the ways that we do so and learn from others.

International Partners

The Aspen Institute’s International Partners are on the front lines to spark intellectual inquiry and respond to the need for civil discourse in their societies.

Our partners work to create a global community of leaders committed to the greater good and elevate non-partisan dialogue to address the world’s biggest challenges. Since 1974, the Aspen Institute has inspired 13 international partner organizations in 16 countries: Central Europe (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia,) Colombia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Romania, Spain, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

Over the past half century, the Institute has thrived in the United States and globally through the international network of partners. There is a growing demand and urgent need for the Institute’s time-tested processes and proven impact around the world.

The Aspen idea continues to grow and expand worldwide, most recently with the Aspen Initiative in Africa-Nairobi. Each branch of the Aspen family tree is committed to upholding the Aspen mission to drive change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve the most important challenges facing the world.
