Debate
GPPi's work seeks to foster strategic communities around pressing policy issues by bringing together the public sector, business and civil society.
We use the results of our research and consulting to foster public debate on key issues in global politics. We do so through events, our publications, media outreach and presentations at conferences and other discussion fora. Through our executive education seminars, and training programs, we further encourage policy entrepreneurship.
Our activities are supported by, among others, the European Commission, the Dräger Foundation, the Robert Bosch Foundation, the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. Our past and present partners include the Harvard CES Berlin Dialogues, the ZEIT Foundation and the Hertie School of Governance.
