The event is held at Gulbenkian Hall, Iverna Gardens London, England, W8 6TP

Join us for a day of talks and discussion about the initial results and analysis from the Armenian Diaspora Survey in the UK. ADS conducts surveys of public opinion in Armenian diaspora communities to inform the public, scholars, policy-makers and community leaders about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the Armenian world in the 21st century. ADS is funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and carried out under the auspices of the Armenian Institute in London.

We return to AI’s longtime home in Gulbenkian Hall, to report and discuss directly with the community. Bringing together specialist researchers with community participants, the day is an opportunity to find out more about ADS and its work, and to reflect on the UK Armenian community in 2021 in a friendly setting. Food and refreshments will be provided, and the event will be followed by a wine reception.
