2025 International Policy Summer Institute (IPSI)
2025 IPSI just concluded in Washington, DC and was a great success! We always gain new and valuable insights from each cohort and group of panelists and this program was no different. This year, BTG was fortunate to utilize both the Duke in DC and Brookings Institution spaces. We are grateful to the staff of both facilities for providing such accommodating experiences. We welcome our newest cohort to the BTG network!
