In this webinar international policymakers and academic scholars interact in order to find common avenues for fostering cutting-edge research on global governance that is both fundamental and policy-relevant. We have gathered top officials from the European Commission, the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. They will share views on current policymaking dynamics within their organizations and the possible interplay with academic research.
