CIGI identifies and develops ideas for global change by supporting research, fostering exchange among experts and leaders in the private and public sectors, and providing informed advice to decision-makers on multilateral governance issues. To achieve its ambitious mandate, CIGI supports research initiatives by recognized experts and promising academics; forms networks that link world class minds across disciplines; informs and shapes the dialogue among scholars, opinion leaders, key policy-makers, and the concerned public; and builds capacity by supporting excellence in policy-related scholarship. As a leading international think tank, CIGI is working to deepen intellectual resources in support of the overall effectiveness and legitimacy of multilateral policy-making. Led by a group of experienced practitioners and distinguished academics, CIGI brings an international and interdisciplinary approach to knowledge exchange on current global economic, institutional, diplomatic and security issues. To help build ideas for global change, CIGI hosts an active program of events, including conferences, workshops, and public lectures, fosters on-line collaborative networks, and produces and disseminates a wide range of publications.
