About
From the second to the eighth of February 2020, the Think Tank Hub, in collaboration with On Think Tanks and foraus – Swiss Forum on Foreign Policy, organized the WinterSchool for Think Tankers, the fourth edition of a training for tomorrow’s Think Tank leaders that took place in the heart of International Geneva.
It was a unique opportunity for proactive young individuals to develop their understanding of Think Tanks and to prepare themselves for a future as policy changemakers. More particularly, it offered a practical approach, rather than just theory, with inputs and advices coming from a range of professionals. The fourth WISCH, organized by the Think Tank Hub and foraus – Swiss Forum on Foreign Policy, in collaboration with On Think Tanks, took place from February 2nd to February 8th, 2020 in the heart of International Geneva.
