IIES/SNS International Policy Talks
Decision making in public and private life based on knowledge and thorough research tend to lead to successful businesses and policies. The gap between academia and the surrounding community is occasionally an obstacle for these positive synergies. SNS has a collaboration with the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) at Stockholm University in order to offer SNS members policy talks with internationally leading economic scholars. The partnership creates a platform for insights from international economic research to be part of the policy debate in Sweden.
For questions regarding IIES/SNS International Policy Talks, please contact project manager Albin Lagerlöf, albin.lagerlof@sns.se.
