Associated Groups

The stakeholders of the GES are supported by the the following associated initiatives:

• Business and Civic Leaders: The Global Economic Partnership seeks to help business and civic leaders address global problems from a global perspective. It provides a neutral platform to help this community shape the agenda on global problems and formulate strategic responses.
• Academia: The Global Economic Association brings together research economists from around the world and provide, among other things, an open-access, open-assessment electronic publication outlet for research in global economic affairs. The GES will also be associated with a Excellence Award in Global Economic Affairs, which builds a community of the brightest young researchers in global economic affairs and offers them fellowships and support to conduct research at the Kiel Institute and attend the GES.
• Policy: Whereas the core group of policy makers at the GES clearly do not require a new platform of interaction, the GES will establish a Policy Leadership Program to hone the economic policy skills of the next generation of policy makers. This program will include, among other things, a summer school that covers major topics of economic policy, addresses major global challenges, and emphasizes the application of economic principles to economic policy making.
