The Battle of Ideas 2007 was a two-day festival of high-level, thought-provoking debate organised by the Academy of Ideas and hosted by the Royal College of Art. These pages are now an archive of the festival where you can still find out what went on, watch video of the event and read Battles in Print that accompanied the sessions.

"The Battle of Ideas is like a huge intellectual fair where a bewildering number of thinkers set out their stalls."
