Welcome to the October edition of 'The Lookout'

Welcome to The Lookout, bringing you a global perspective on issues that matter. In this edition, we put In Focus the 'Principles of the Aspen Institute', which have recently been reviewed and updated to reflect the environment we now operate within, and the challenges we face as a society today. We are proud to share these updated Principles with our community below.

Followed by Leadership In Action with the premiere of the Ukrainian Art Exhibition, Bird of War, Beast of Hope, a unique collaboration of the Institute and Aspen Kyiv to showcase visual representations of the war and its devastating and lasting impact on Ukraine. Plus, an In Depth look at how data has overtaken oil as one of the world's most valuable resources and why it is becoming an essential resource for governments in the geopolitical arena.

Join us for the global launch of the Aspen Institute In Favour of Pure Science Global Report & Symposium, with details below. Watch out for our Conversation with Aspen Kyiv on the latest developments in Ukraine, and our seminar in February 2023 on Democracy, Digital Media and AI Challenges.
