Shape the future of public policy.
Global challenges such as sustainable development, climate change and resource security do not stop at national borders. No country can find answers to these questions alone. Solutions can only be developed together in cross-border cooperation in science, research and policy. International cooperation in research and policy planning is thus crucial in order to capitalize on the wealth of knowledge that exists across borders.
This is one of the many reasons we collaborate with the Israel Public Policy Institute (IPPI), an independent think-and-do-tank and a multi-stakeholder dialog platform at the intersection of society, technology and the environment. Through its research activities, knowledge sharing, networking and public outreach, IPPI works to foster understanding of the challenges facing our societies in the 21st century and guide the transformation process of our societies towards a prosperous and sustainable future.
