Global Approach

The Institute is unique amongst major US academic research organizations in having established centers in key countries central to the global climate and growth challenge. The University of Chicago’s centers in India, China and Europe enable Institute researchers to build partnerships with government and industry. These real-world partnerships allow the Institute to identify novel ideas, pilot these ideas on the ground, and rigorously measure outcomes on a practical basis not often seen in academia. The Institute will leverage and build off this work.
