The Global Research Network is an independent organization of early career academics around the world. Our mission is to encourage openness, connection and diversity. Our independent Think Tank looks to fill a gap in the global policy space by engaging voices from around the world (in particular scholars for whom English is not a first language and minority, female, LGBTQ, disabled, refugee academics). Our programmes cover a range of thematic areas and global issues. Our core values are equality, kindness, and care, which we use to interrogate existing policies and to propose alternatives.

The Junior Fellows running the programmes come from a wide range of backgrounds and are curating useful resources on each of the thematic areas for new researchers, as well as writing briefs, blog posts, and creating vlogs. They are guided by a group of experienced Fellows and our Board as we work together to build a platform for intellectuals who want to contribute to wider social debate and public good. The Think Tank, drawing on members from the GRN, aims to be cross-disciplinary and without borders. Get in touch if you would like to join, donate, or cover one of our stories.
