IGP’s Year In Review
The Institute of Global Politics (IGP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) marked an extraordinary second year of growth, engagement, and meaningful impact. We welcomed 15 Carnegie Distinguished Fellows, hosted more than 100 events, and brought together individuals from across the ideological and political spectrum. We advanced substantive policy work, reached hundreds of thousands of virtual participants, and deepened our engagement with students from across the university.
Advancing open dialogue
IGP provides a forum for the open exchange of ideas and respectful discourse through its signature speaker programs. From Spotlight Interviews to the Across the Aisle series, IGP brings leaders from the public and private sectors into dialogue to share lessons learned, discuss global challenges, and find commonalities across partisan and ideological divides.
Research for impact
Based at the world’s top school for global public policy, the nonpartisan Institute of Global Politics harnesses the deep expertise and experience of leading scholars and practitioners to develop and advance evidence-based solutions to today's pressing global challenges.
Training the next generation of leaders
The IGP Student Scholars Program helps prepare Columbia students to understand and find solutions to today's global challenges. Students selected for the program benefit from the mentorship of leading practitioners and scholars, gain hands-on experience in policymaking, and engage in dialogue on the world’s toughest problems.
Discover our work
IGP’s signature speaker series offers a vital platform to exchange ideas, find common ground, and model civil discourse for the next generation of policy leaders.
To train the next generation of leaders, IGP hosts small, closed-door Policy Roundtables and Skills Workshops for Columbia students with the Carnegie Distinguished Fellows and other leading practitioners.
Our publications provide non-ideological, evidence-based research and recommendations to help leaders around the world navigate current policy challenges.
