Dear Members,
We are thrilled to announce our annual "Meeting the Institutions" dinner with this year two very special guests: Lord Brian Griffiths and Professor Hedi Larbi (bios below) on the 10th of June, in London.
Our speakers will give us their views on what reforms were needed in the UK during the Thatcher era and their impacts and how they can be replicated or not in Tunisia.
Seats are limited, send us an email at uk@atuge.org if you would like to register your interest.
