REPLAY
IDDRI and the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) organized the official handover of the Think 7 (T7) from Canada to France.
This event brought together government representatives from the departing and the upcoming G7 presidencies, as well as members of the global think tank community. It provided a platform to exchange perspectives on the policy priorities of G7 countries, while also setting the stage for the upcoming T7 activities.
The meeting included a formal T7 handover from Canada to France and marked the official launch of the French T7 process for 2026. It also presented the priorities of the French presidency of the G7 and the various T7 themes.
Building on the achievements from the 2025 Canadian T7 process led by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), the event highlighted the role of the T7 as a bridge between research and policy in a bid to support policymaking through concise, evidence-based and actionable recommendations.
