Summary
Oct. 1 will mark the launch of the 2026 Chicago Council Survey, which the organization says will gauge U.S. foreign-policy opinion ahead of the midterm elections.
Nov. 5, the Council will host a high-level panel on how the new Congress could affect U.S. democracy and foreign policy, alongside upcoming programs on China, NATO, AI, the global economy and food security.
More than 50 years of public-opinion work underpins the push, which the Council framed as a response to geopolitical disorder, faltering diplomacy and what it described as a shortage of trusted spaces for debate.
Partners including RAND Europe, the Council on Foreign Relations, Princeton's Reimagining World Order Initiative, LSE, SOAS and the World Economic Forum are set to join the Council's upcoming season.
