Happy holidays!

Happy holidays from the Basel Institute

Dear colleagues, partners and friends,

As the year comes to a close, we want to thank you for being an invaluable part of our journey to promote good governance and fight corruption worldwide.

2024 was marked by the tragic loss of our long-time Managing Director, Gretta Fenner. We are deeply grateful to all who shared tributes and messages of condolence. Your support has been a source of strength, helping us continue and expand our work and impact in honour of Gretta's legacy.

Looking ahead, 2025 marks a new chapter in the Basel Institute's 22-year history as we warmly welcome Elizabeth Andersen as Executive Director.

We are taking some time to rest and recharge from 23 December until 2 January. 

From Basel and our teams around the world, we wish you a peaceful holiday season and a bright, impactful year ahead.
