As of February 2020, the "Collaborating Organisations" section of the website lists only CIBAR and Chatham House, and no references to the Integrity Initiative nor the Institute for Statecraft were obviously listed. The website advertised the event as "an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded collaboration between The University of Manchester and The Open University."
