- Project on Forward Engagement
The objective of the Forward Engagement Project, led by Leon Fuerth, the former National Security Adviser for Vice President Al Gore, is to encourage a more profound and continuous interaction between long-range forecasting and long-range policy-making – preparing for “social tsunamis.” Encouraging this development is key to better safeguarding our society from unanticipated, strategic surprise and, in particular, assuring the continued ability of democratic governance to successfully deal with an increasing rate of change in every area of human activity. The Project will be working with EPIIC on the symposium and a related workshop.

Research and Internships with the Project on Justice in Times of Transition, which brings together individuals from a broad spectrum of countries to share experiences in ending conflict, building civil society and fostering peaceful coexistence.

- Physicians for Human Rights National Student Leaders’ Pre-Conference Event on “Global Health: Pandemics and Preparedness”
