LATIN AMERICA VIRTUAL THINK TANK SUMMIT REPORT

September 18, 2020

The 2020 Virtual Latin America Think Tank Summit was hosted by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) and Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) on Friday, September 18, 2020. In this troubling time, it is crucial to continue our collaborative efforts to share relevant policy advice and recommendations to save lives and strengthen the think tanks’ role in Latin America. This Summit provided the opportunity for the regional think tank community to convene and discuss key issues facing the region, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Speakers and panelists discussed key recommendations for the region to recover from the pandemic and strengthen multilateral cooperation and collaboration, not merely between states but within the think tank community. Below is a statistical breakdown of the participants who attended the Summit, followed by the Latin America Think Tank Summit Report.
