Where Conversations Lead to Change

At CELIOS, we create spaces where critical conversations evolve into collective action. Through public dialogues, we bring together policymakers, foreign missions, civil society, academics, and journalists to tackle pressing challenges—from fiscal justice and clean energy transition to Indonesia’s evolving global diplomacy. Our events foster collaboration, amplify marginalized voices, and ensure evidence-based ideas are heard where they can make real impact.

Our events include:

  • Policy Forums — High-level discussions on fiscal, environmental, and socio-economic policies.
  • Public Dialogues — Open conversations bridging civil society, government, and media.
  • Expert Roundtables — In-depth briefings with researchers and policy experts on emerging issues.
