The Building for the Future Initiative, supported by the Open Society Foundations, offers grants to selected student-led think tanks to strengthen their leadership capabilities and promote new perspectives on local and regional policy issues and policy research questions. During the initiative, OTT developed a database of student-led think tanks. If you are part of a student-led think tank, please contact us to be included in the resource [email protected].
