Our Mission

We are an internationally based think tank, run by students from around the world! Born out of a partnership between students at Johns Hopkins University, Sciences Po, and New York University Shanghai, our organization strives to be at the forefront of collaborative scholarship.

We endeavor to be a model for international scholarship, looking at the world through the lens of what connects, not divides, us.
