The central aims of the Institute are:
- to broaden and expand the pool of talented young scholars & practitioners working in these fields
- to connect them to elite scholars and practitioners from around the world
- to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue
- to build space for future collaborations.
Our programme changes each year depending on current events, emerging issues in technology and policy, and the interests and expertise of the participants. The emphasis is on facilitating stimulating discussions and debates that continue outside of the seminar room.
A highly intensive course with more than 60 contact hours with leading academics and distinguished guests.
With over 50 participants each year, hailing from more than 20 countries around the world, the Institute has long offered participants unrivalled exposure to the diverse experiences and media environments of its global participants and speakers.
The Institute’s alumni are an exceptional and vibrant group who stay engaged and collaborate well past the end of the programme through the active alumni network. Many go on to become leaders at top government agencies, corporations, non-profits, and academic institutions around the world.
