#ThinkTanksReact: A Worldwide Solidarity Campaign

From Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) Executive Vice President and Director Paolo Magri:

Dear Friends,

The global Covid-19 epidemic has abruptly changed our ways of life, our relationships, our work. Reduced mobility and safety measures have put a halt to conferences and many of the “social” activities that belong to a think tank’s daily life and work. 

This crisis has hit ISPI, too. But not our willingness to innovate, adapt, and carry on working with even more focus, curiosity and thirst for knowledge. 

While in lockdown - “chiusi al pubblico” - we are working hard to keep our lights on. 

  • Lights on through our daily Video Insights (over 25 to date) on the “world in the time of coronavirus”.

  • Lights on through our online publications: Daily Focus, Dossiers, Reports, the weekly USA 2020.

  • Lights on by switching our ISPI School programmes into distance-learning.

  • Lights on with our recently released products: Global Watch, (a weekly publication for the business community), ISPI Express (a podcast on the most compelling international crises).

And there is more to come!

We keep our lights on: firm in the knowledge that we are not alone and that our partners and friends all over the world are also keeping their lights on. With us. 

Paolo Magri
