Since 2006, the ECGI has organised a yearly lecture at the time of its Annual General Assembly. These lectures, given by prominent scholars, are open to the public and address a topical governance issue. On some occasions, a debate has taken place instead of a lecture.

In 2020, the lecture was renamed 'The Wallenberg Lecture' in recognition of the support from The Wallenberg Foundations, by affiliation with ECGI's patron member, Investor AB.
