Engage

We partner with think tanks, researchers, and experts to spark new ideas in development, grow capacity, and close knowledge gaps. We organize events and conferences that serve as conduits for gathering ideas that shape future research. Check out our recent and upcoming activities below.

We are actively working to grow our list of institutional partners and building a network of contributing experts. Given our global mandate, we operate out of regional hubs. The hub in Rome, Italy, is supported by the Government of Italy, in collaboration with the Bank of Italy and the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF). It facilitates connections with think tanks in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The hub in Washington, D.C. facilitates partnerships with global institutions to engage with think tanks in Latin America and the Caribbean and the broader Western Hemisphere.
