Think tanks in times of disruptive change

How think tanks can become incubators for policy innovation
In our turbulent times, think tanks are confronted with multiple external and internal challenges that range from populism and decreasing trust in experts to questions surrounding diversity and talent retention. The Think Tank Lab aims to support German think tanks in navigating these challenges by fostering innovation, offering trainings, and facilitating the exchange of good practices.
It is a new initiative of the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) and Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) that is kindly supported by the Stiftung Mercator and Robert Bosch Stiftung.
At our kick-off event, we will discuss what the world expects from think tanks today and how they can become incubators for policy innovation. The program of the event you can find here.
We are happy to welcome a diverse range of speakers at our event, including Dr. Robin Niblett, director of Chatham House, Christiane Hoffmann, author at Der Spiegel and Dr. Hannah Neumann MEP.
Please register for the event here by June 21. You are kindly invited to send questions for our panelists in advance via that same online form. Please note that you will receive your log-in information one day prior to the event.
