Who we are

At the Global Policy Center (GPC), we bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. As one of the world’s first think tanks placed within the framework of a university, we are at the very intellectual heart of IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs. Here, bold ideas meet tangible solutions.

Our dual mission reflects a commitment to generating advanced research that guides policy formulation and educating the next generation of scholar-practitioners to lead with purpose and insight. By leveraging expertise within and beyond our institution, we nurture collaboration that drives innovation and meaningful impact
