Objective

The University of Pennsylvania will present their Index 2018 Global Go To Think Tank, directed by James G. McGann, on the 31st of January, 2019. This Index ranks global leading think tanks in different categories and is designed to identify centres of excellence in key areas of public policy research and in every region of the world. 

On the occasion of the launch of the index, CIDOB has organized a session of discussion on the role of think tanks as generators of ideas amidst political transformation and disinformation in our society. The launch will also involve a series of coordinated events in more than 100 international organizations and NGOs that are intended to highlight the important role think tanks play in governments and civil societies around the world.
