The Ditchley Foundation

ORGANIZATION

"The Ditchley Foundation was established by Sir David Wills in 1958 to advance international learning and to bring transatlantic and other experts together to discuss the world's problems. Sir David's original objective was to promote Anglo-American understanding on issues of mutual interest. American and Canadian sister Foundations, set up in 1964 and 1981 respectively, remain our most active partners. Since then Ditchley conferences have broadened to include the concerns and participation of nations all over the globe."
