IEA Knowledge Partner

The IEA welcomes the ADB Institute as Knowledge Partner

IEA Knowledge Partner Programme

The creation of a Knowledge Partner Programme stems from the IEA’s mission to foster global dialogue, advance high-quality research, promote education in economics, and encourage inclusive engagement across the profession and beyond. By formalising strategic collaborations with international institutions, the programme will enhance the IEA’s ability to support frontier research, stimulate debate on pressing global economic challenges, promote education in economics, and broaden participation in its core activities. Knowledge Partners (KPs) will help shape the international research and policy agenda through joint research programmes and publications and high level policy dialogue.

IEA Lecture Series in Economics

This initiative aligns with the IEA´s mission to advance the dissemination of economic thought and knowledge worldwide while addressing contemporary global challenges in economics.

The programme consists of a series of three to four online lectures on a specific topic in economics. Lectures are delivered by experts in the relevant field. The programme is addressed at young scholars, post-graduate students and researchers who wish to deepen their knowledge of a specific topic.
