This page gathers blogs written about the 2025 UKFIET conference theme and structure. Some blogs were written before the conference, outlining expectations from each of the seven sub-themes. And the theme convenors have written detailed and thoughtful summaries of the pertinent issues highlighted during presentations and conversations during the conference, with the aim of continuing these conversations in urgent times of change and unpredictability.
