The group meets on the first and third Thursday of the month at 10.30am in the cafe at City URC, Windsor Place, Cardiff.
A single question is discussed at each meeting, but over the year a wide range of topics are covered. See below examples of recent topics
- What does Iran want?
- Have we reached a turning point with migraine medication?
- Has Toyota solved the electric car battery problem?
- Is Paris ready for the 2024 Olympics?
- Is Peace In The Arctic Melting?
The question will be advertised in the calendar on the right, usually a week, or so, before the meeting. Very occasionally it may change – so always check.
The meeting is based on the BBC World Service’s award-winning programme “The Inquiry”. The experts on this programme include senior academics, politicians, journalists, and others with personal experience of the subject. After each individual interview, we discuss the expert’s view and often share our personal views and experiences.
