About the Globalisation team
The seminars are hosted by the Globalisation team, which carries out research and policy work aimed at promoting sustainable economic growth to reduce poverty. The role of business and development, including private global governance and inclusive business strategies, will be one of the team's key areas of work over the coming months.
Through the seminar series, the Globalisation team aims to broaden its knowledge about the role of business and development. The team hopes attendees will find the presentations and discussions stimulating and informative.
