The first of the HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's Commonwealth Study Conferences (CSC) took place in 1956. The success of the first event, and the enthusiasm of its alumni for others to benefit from the experience led to conferences being held in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and Malaysia. The CSC were succeeded by The Duke of Edinburgh's Emerging Leaders' Dialogues (ELD), held in the Pacific, the Caribbean, Malaysia and Canada since 2006. In the UK. the CSC Leaders Conferences have been held since 2013.
