On Think Tanks (OTT) Annual Conference 2026

Introductory remarks

Karim El Aynaoui, Executive President, Policy Center for the New South
Enrique Mendizabal, Founder, On Think Tanks

Keynote 1: The Knowledge in This Room

Erica Schoder, Executive Director of the R Street Institute

AI can now produce a competent policy brief. So if anyone can produce the output, what is a think tank actually for? In this keynote, Erica Schoder argues that think tanks have always produced two kinds of knowledge: the analytical work AI now does well, and constituted knowledge that only comes into being when people with real stakes work through hard problems together. Drawing on her research at Edinburgh Futures Institute and fourteen years leading R Street Institute, she offers a practical framework for identifying where your institution's constituted knowledge gets produced and making it visible to stakeholders and funders.

Parallel sessions

Parallel session 1A: Stop Complaining About the Trust Deficit

Margarita Beneke De Sanfeliu, Director, Center for Research and Statistics, FUSADES
Jorge Morel, Executive Director, Instituto de Estudios Peruanos
Rakesh Rajani, President, Just Systems

Trust isn’t abstract or accidental; it is built through identifiable organizational mechanisms. This session introduces a research-based analytical framework and Theory of Change (ToC) for building trust — not policy influence — drawing on new research on civil society organizations. Using four core mechanisms: Accountability, Legitimacy, Connection, and Independence — participants will examine common trust gaps in think tank operations, share real-world examples of what works (and what doesn’t), and identify practical intervention points within their own organizations. Moving from principle to practice, the session will culminate in a co-created draft Theory of Change or common framework to help think tanks design a more systematic path toward credibility and sustained trust.

Parallel session 1B: Building a trusted think tank brand

Annapoorna Ravichander, Consultant, On Think Tanks
John Schwartz, CEO, Soapbox

In an AI-shaped information ecosystem, think tanks can’t assume trust—they have to earn it. This interactive session explores how a clear narrative, purposeful positioning, and sustained strategic communications help think tanks build credibility with different audiences who are looking for different “signals” of trust (and sometimes demanding incompatible things).

Soapbox—one of the world's leading design, digital and communications agencies for think tanks—will open with a practical framework on trusted brands: whose trust matters, why, and what it takes to gain it. Then the room breaks into a set of mini “comms agencies” (teams of 5–6). ISS and Annapoorna Ravichander will each present a real-world brand challenge and share a written brief. Teams will rapidly develop and pitch audience-first responses—moving beyond “communicating research” towards building trust in the organisation, its experts, its ideas, and the value it offers. The strongest pitch wins a prize—and everyone leaves with tools and ideas to apply immediately.

Parallel session 1C: The Currency of Credibility: Building Trust to Secure Unrestricted and Less-Restricted Funds

Judith Katz, Director of Advancement, Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE), UC Berkeley Law
Karen Kühlcke, Strategy, Growth and Impact Manager, Cenfri
Sharmagh Sakounts, Fundraising and Donor Relations Manager, Applied Policy Research Institute (APRI)
Lisa Yankowski, Advancement Officer, International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)

Think tanks globally are facing increasing financial challenges, particularly when it comes to raising core funding to bridge the gap of indirect costs. Many think tank leaders experience anxiety because of a perceived choice between strident case-making for the organization’s continued existence, or adjusting research portfolios to match funder interests. “The Currency of Credibility” is about moving beyond this binary by offering a few widely applicable baseline frameworks, skills, and case studies for trust-building and relationship-based fundraising. It is geared towards think tank leaders with small or nascent fundraising operations and will provide a few takeaways that can be applied in universal contexts.

Parallel session 1D: The Inside Job: Organizational Culture as a Strategic Asset for Think Tanks

Emma Woodford, COO, European Policy Centre
Sonja Stojanovic-Gajic, Senior Researcher, University of Rijeka

Think tanks invest heavily in external credibility — research quality, policy influence, communications — yet far less attention is paid to what happens inside: leadership practices, staff management, lived values, and whether the organization is one people stay committed to when pressure mounts. In a context of shrinking funding, authoritarian backsliding, and shifting workplace expectations, organizational culture has become a resilience issue rather than a soft concern. This 90-minute workshop brings together practitioners from contrasting contexts — including a government-affiliated research institute, and the Brussels-based European Policy Centre — to examine real experiences in people management and culture. Participants will explore shared internal challenges, from attracting and retaining talent to navigating conflict and change management, and work through practical questions about the competences needed to build inclusive, adaptive organizations in uncertain or hostile external environments.

Parallel session 1E: The Future of Think Tanks Starts Now!

Carlos Alvarez Pereira, Secretary General, The Club of Rome
Natallia Nenarokamava, Head of Strategy, Cast from Clay
Chad Russell, Vice President of Operations, R Street Institute
Erica Schoder, Executive Director, R Street Institute

When knowledge is cheap, information is frictionless, and evidence is easily available to everyone. What is the value of think tanks? What is left for them to do?

This is a hands-on workshop for those grappling with the questions of the future and the practicalities of running a think tank under new conditions.

We'll explore what think tanks do better than anyone else, how to communicate that value to policymakers and funders, and what that means for our impact and influence.

Building a stronger community sessions

Session 1: Unlocking Global Impact for Southern Think Tanks

Beatriz Pfeifer, Network Engagement Officer, Southern Voice

This session will explore the critical importance of Global South think tanks engaging in global policy, which directly influences national agendas. Participants will discuss key constraints preventing this prioritization and provide input to help funders align their support for global-focused work. Guiding questions will include:

• How do you see the value in engaging in global policy debates for Global South think tanks - and how it reinforces - rather than competes with - national policy priorities?
• What resources, capacities, or operational constraints prevent Southern think tanks from prioritizing engagement in global policy and how can they be translated into targeted, actionable strategies that directly strengthen this work?
• How can funders and strategic partners address these challenges and constraints with meaningful support? How does that look in practice?
• Beyond current activities, what incentives or forms of engagement can Southern Voice implement to help Southern Voice members engage more actively in global impact initiatives?

Session 2: Understanding Chinese think tanks: An opportunity for collaboration

Fei Chen, PhD Candidate, School of Information Management, Nanjing University
Gang Li, Professor, School of Information Management, Nanjing University & Director, Centre for Chinese Think Tank Research and Evaluation
Xiwen Liu, Director, National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Chinese think tanks are growing in number and sophistication. Still, little is known about them outside of China or specialized foreign policy circles. In this session, delegates from Nanjing University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences will provide an overview of the Chinese think tank sector, Chinese think tanks’ main strategies and current developments in the sector. The presentation will also outline opportunities for collaboration with Chinese think tanks.

The ask: How could Chinese think tanks better collaborate with their peers in other regions?

Session 3: Measuring impact: one year on

Kareem Makhlouf, Chief of Staff, New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy

New Lines Institute upgraded its impact model and rolled it out last year. Some of the thinking was shaped by conversations at the OTT Conference last year, and some of it was their own. They'd love to open up a conversation about whether any participants changed their approach to MEL, and what they did differently. They'd be happy to share what they did differently on the day, and some of the challenges they found, to kick off the conversation.

The ask:

• Have you done anything differently following last year’s OTT conference? Why/why not?
• More practically, how do you approach data collection – how do you share the responsibility between projects and the central team? How often do you report on it internally?
• If anyone feels they've not been able to change it as they'd like, we’d love to know what’s stopped them.

Session 4: Knowledge Creation in the Age of AI: Introducing sIfA as a way to foster a culture of transparency towards knowledge equity

Mareike Schomerus, Vice President Voice & Impact, Busara

AI is rapidly changing knowledge creation, yet we currently lack an accurate record of its impact on our collective knowledge. A significant barrier to understanding this transition is the culture of secrecy within many think tanks regarding how AI is used. In this session, Busara will introduce the sIfA—an open-access tool developed to tackle this challenge by fostering transparency. The session aims to encourage collective learning on how AI is shaping the sector and to identify the best ways to support diverse, inclusive and equitable knowledge production.

The ask:

• How is AI shaping your internal processes, and what measures are you taking to ensure that knowledge production remains equitable and transparent?
• How can we move away from a culture of secrecy towards one of shared learning to better understand how AI is shaping us?

Unpopular opinions: Singalong

A sing-along to share and present "un-popular" opinions. Bring your own and do not be afraid to share them.

Keynote 2: Trusted by Whom? Rethinking Think Tank Legitimacy in the African Context

Denis Foretia, Co-Chair, Denis & Lenora Foretia Foundation & Executive Chairman, Nkafu Policy Institute

Who do think tanks truly serve, and whose trust do they seek to earn? This keynote challenges traditional notions of legitimacy by examining the competing expectations of governments, funders, and citizens in African policy spaces. Drawing from Nkafu's experience, it calls for a shift toward more locally grounded, accountable, and responsive institutions, and reframes trust as something that must be actively earned, negotiated, and sustained.

Parallel sessions

Parallel session 2A: Trust Among Think Tanks

Salim Kombo, Engagement Director, BUSARA
Stewart Nixon, Director of Research, IDEAS Malaysia
Kathleen Van Hove, Senior Policy Analyst, ECDPM and ETTG

Networks and collective action are often seen as pathways to systems change, yet many think tank networks struggle to move beyond early enthusiasm or donor-funded beginnings. Misaligned expectations, limited resources, and underlying competition frequently undermine their long-term sustainability. This session takes a behavioral and systems-thinking lens to examine what makes networks truly effective, and what causes them to falter. Drawing on participant experience, it will explore practical strategies for building and sustaining collaboration at local, regional, and global levels, balancing cooperation with competition, and designing the formal and informal rules that enable policy research networks to endure.

Parallel session 2B: Universities and Think Tanks: Strategic Alliances for Knowledge, Impact, and Sustainability

Karim El Aynaoui, Executive President, Policy Center for the New South
Florencia Rubiolo, Director, Insight21, Universidad Siglo 21
Donna Tonini, Associate Director, Center for Global Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Bob Wekesa, Director, African Centre for the Study of the US, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa

Think tanks and universities are facing parallel pressures: think tanks must diversify funding and demonstrate policy relevance, while universities are pushed to show real-world impact beyond academia. This session explores whether deeper collaboration — particularly through university-based think tanks — offers a credible and sustainable path forward. Drawing on different institutional models, from academically anchored research centers to more autonomous hybrid structures, the discussion will examine the benefits and trade-offs of these partnerships. Participants will consider how universities can contribute credibility, intellectual diversity, and relative funding stability, while think tanks bring agility, policy relevance, and knowledge translation, alongside the tensions these collaborations create around autonomy, governance, and responsiveness. The session aims to identify practical models that balance excellence, relevance, sustainability, and trust in policy research.

Parallel session 2C: Mobilizing Domestic Funding: What Think Tanks Can Do

Joy Chatterjee, Senior Associate and Team Lead, OTT
Evans Okinyi, CEO, East Africa Philanthropy Network
Guilherme Sylos, Partnership Director, Institute for the Development of Social Investment (IDIS)

Across low- and middle-income countries, think tanks consistently report that domestic funding cannot yet replace shrinking foreign aid. While this challenge is real, this session shifts the focus from diagnosis to action. If think tanks are trusted actors in shaping policy frameworks that unlock investment and enable tax reform, why not apply that same policy expertise to the funding of policy research itself? Drawing on a joint review by WINGS and OTT of case studies where policy change has helped mobilize domestic philanthropy, the session will explore how national frameworks can incentivize local giving, corporate social responsibility, and impact investing. Participants will share additional examples and consider how similar reforms can be advanced in their own contexts to strengthen long-term financial sustainability for think tanks.

Parallel session 2D: Trust in others: collaboration with governments, funders, academia, and implementers

Catherine McCarron, Business Development Associate, C4ADS
Nick Shereikis, Head of Communications, C4ADS

Change requires multiple sectors to work toward the same objectives. But how often do NGOs, corporations, governments, social movements, political parties and others come together and cooperate? Can think tanks leverage these diverse sectors’ expertise and ability to take action? In this session, we will examine how think tanks can build trust across and between sectors, proposing strategic communication and bridge building as a solution to this challenge. Participants will co-create a collection of ideas, examining how: (1) think tank analysis can be communicated across different audiences without compromising rigour and independence, and (2) think tanks can promote strategic cross-sector communication and collaboration. Together, let us consider how we can redefine think tanks – not just as centers for thought, but as bodies working to unite diverse actors for change.

Parallel session 2E: Your Research Is Good, But Does Anyone Know That? Building a Trust Infrastructure for Think Tanks

Nick Cleveland-Stout, Research Associate, Quincy Institute
Toby Green, Publisher, Policy Commons

Many think tanks produce rigorous research, but it can be difficult to know which to trust. This leads policymakers and AI systems to favor established think tanks, leaving smaller or less visible organizations struggling for attention despite producing high-quality work. In this workshop we'll share two perspectives on what a trust infrastructure for think tanks — one that could level the playing field — might look like, from funding transparency to content trust marks. Join us, we'd like to hear what you think about trust too.

Keynote 3: Do think tanks matter?

Rosa Balfour, Director, Carnegie Europe

Sweeping global changes are upending international and domestic politics, fostering new patterns of ideological politicization and challenging open societies. Artificial Intelligence and a contested information ecosystem are ushering in a revolution in how people relate to knowledge. Security imperatives are looming large over public and private budgets, reshaping the priorities of independent research. In the face of unpredictable turmoil and declining trust in expertise, asking whether think tanks matter is not a rhetorical question. The talk will explore the challenges to think tanks and make a case for their relevance.

Parallel sessions

Parallel session 3A: Regional think tanks - opportunities and challenges

Chibuikem Agbaegbu, Senior Fellow, Head of Climate Transitions Program, Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI)
Adwoa Banful, Head – Partnerships, African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET)
Dominique Dryding, Capacity Building Manager, Afrobarometer
Bruno Ittia Achuo, Director of Communications and Strategic Initiative, Nkafu Policy Institute
Chepa Twatasha Lesa, Junior Technical Advisor Africa Policy Bridge Tank, AUDA-NEPAD
Mahao Leuta Mahao, Senior Advisor, AUDA-NEPAD
Racheal Makokha, Research and Projects Officer, OTT Consulting

This session will explore the unique challenges and opportunities faced by think tanks attempting to work and influence policy at the regional level. The session will explore how think tanks define their audiences and objectives, the research and communication strategies that make the most sense to them and the competencies and skills they need to develop to operate at the regional level.

Parallel session 3B: Forget core funding: alternative income streams for resilient think tanks

Liliana Alvarado, General Director, Ethos Innovación en Políticas Públicas
Margarita Beneke De Sanfeliu, Director, Center for Research and Statistics, FUSADES
Anthea Haryoko, Chief Operating Officer, Center for Indonesian Policy Studies
Jorge Morel, Executive Director, Instituto de Estudios Peruanos

While core funding remains the benchmark for institutional stability, today’s competitive and constrained funding landscape makes it increasingly difficult to secure. This session explores how think tanks can strengthen financial resilience by moving beyond traditional grants and developing alternative income streams that can work alongside a think tank's autonomy, credibility, and long-term relevance — particularly in politically complex democracies. Drawing on concrete examples and emerging models, participants will examine options such as membership programs, public opinion polling services, consulting, event sponsorships, and training activities, with a focus on designing and managing these revenue streams without compromising independence or mission integrity.

Parallel session 3C: Funder restrictions and how to work around them

Fiorella Bianchi, Director of Finance and Strategy, OTT Consulting
Bryan Schwartz, Director, Institutional Advancement, Center for Global Development
Gabriela Suárez, Executive Director, FARO
Anne von Au, Partner Manager, German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ)

Understanding funder conditions is essential for sustainable budgeting, financial planning, and long-term strategy. To support this, OTT has been developing a shared, community-led resource that maps the conditions funders apply to think tanks — across funding models, contracting, budgeting, and reporting. Yet transparency alone is not enough. This session moves from information to action, inviting participants to share and discuss practical strategies for navigating funder restrictions, designing smarter project budgets, and strengthening organizational resilience in the process.

Parallel session 3D: Can AI Become Trust Infrastructure?

Noel Gruber, Director, Communications & Public Affairs, Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)
Sonia Jalfin, Director – Partner, Sociopúblico

Think tanks exist to produce credible, independent knowledge. But in a world where trust is eroding, and AI is accelerating that erosion, the question is no longer whether to engage with AI, but how to do it without compromising what makes you credible in the first place. In this hands-on workshop, we'll move beyond the debate and into the design. We will prototype AI agents tailored to think tank operations, stress-test them against real governance and trust criteria, and leave with concrete ideas we can actually take back to our organizations.

Session 5: How do we build, sustain and fund cross-regional collaboration

Jennifer Hecht, Project Manager, Stiftung Mercator
Ingmar Juergens, CEO, Climate & Company

Anyone who has wrestled with the challenge of working (and funding work) across borders, across sectors, or across the upstream-downstream divide on sustainability issues – or any issue; and who is ready to be honest about what has worked, what has not, and what it would take to do better, should join this session.

Ingmar Juergens, co-founder of Climate & Company, is struggling with these challenges. But he sees a significant opportunity to mobilise private funding – if only think tanks found better ways to collaborate.

The asks:

• How do we build and sustain cross-regional collaboration along specific, sustainability-critical value chains — and how do we get it funded? What models work for combining upstream and downstream perspectives? What are the governance structures, the partnership dynamics, the fundraising strategies? What have we tried and what have we learned?
• How do we work with business in ways that deliver for society, not just for the companies involved? What are the safeguards, the conditions, the red lines? How do think tanks and civil society organizations maintain their independence and credibility while generating the pilots and proof points that markets and policymakers actually need?

Session 6: Opportunity – the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP)

Jane Mariara, Executive Director, Partnership for Economic Policy

Learn about the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) and its role facilitating locally-led economic analysis and policy advice. This session, led by Jane Mariara, Executive Director, will offer participants the opportunity to learn how PEP works with research centers and think tanks to develop their research and policy engagement competencies and skills. Jane will present PEP’s approach and services for think tanks and explain how Conference participants can benefit from them.

The ask:

• What additional services would make a difference to local think tanks in your region?
• Who would like to engage with PEP – and how could you contribute to our mission?

Session 7: University - Think Tank Partnerships and building mutually beneficial opportunities for students, faculty and think tanks

Donna Tonini, Associate Director, Center for Global Studies, University of Illinois

The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign has a new Master's of Science in Global Studies, which has 3 tracks focusing on global governance, global security, and gender and public policy. All 3 tracks combine theory with policy and practice, as the degree prepares students for professional careers in think tanks, non-profits, domestic or international governments, and the private sector. Their specific challenge is how to efficiently and effectively work with think tanks to develop internship opportunities that benefit their students, faculty, and the hosting think tanks. They would also like to know if any think tanks in the community are interested in exploring possible partnerships!

Session 8: US-Bangladesh NextGen Fellowship and Policy Institute

Atif Ahmed Choudhury, Founder and CEO, US-Bangladesh NextGen Policy Fellowship

The U.S.–Bangladesh NextGen Fellowship and Policy Institute is developing a hybrid model that combines policy research and public engagement with scholarships, mentorship and fellowship opportunities for students interested in Bangladesh and South Asia.

As a newly launched organization, USBNFPI seeks practical advice on how emerging think tanks can fund and manage this kind of work to achieve several objectives, including:

• balance research and educational programming, and
• design fellowships with limited capacity, place fellows with partner organizations, and build meaningful partnerships with universities, think tanks, NGOs, diaspora groups and funders.

The conversation will be relevant to other emerging organisations exploring how to combine policy engagement, youth development, community-building and public-facing research in a challenging funding environment.

What is new and newsworthy?

After almost 2 days of community building this is a great time to share what is new and newsworthy in the community. A moment to call out the good ideas and practice we have learned about. Keep an eye out for nominations to the 2026 100 Think Tanks to Watch list!

Keynote 4: If We Don’t Tell the Story, Others Will: Think Tanks in a Polarized World

Héctor Cárdenas, President at the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales (COMEXI)

In an age of polarization, information overload, and declining trust, think tanks face a fundamental challenge: evidence alone no longer shapes policy. Influence increasingly depends on the ability to frame issues, shape narratives, and engage strategically in contested debates.

Drawing on examples from Mexico, North America, Europe, and the global development community, this keynote explores how think tanks can evolve from knowledge producers into true strategic actors. It examines why strong evidence often fails, how compelling narratives redefine fields, and what it takes to tell stories that are both persuasive and grounded in fact—so that ideas do not just exist, but matter.

Parallel sessions

Parallel session 4A: T7 and T20: Lessons for greater global think tank cooperation

Abdelaaziz Ait Ali, Head of Research in Economics, Policy Center for the New South
Dianna H. English, Programs Director, Centre for International Governance Innovation
Sheila Tolentino, Chief of Staff, Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA)

This session distils practical lessons from how the T20 and T7 have been organized by focusing on what has made these processes work: how hosts structure task forces, coordinate diverse institutions, manage comms between participants, and hand over knowledge year-to-year to the next hosts. Participants will map the elements that could be copied, adapted, or avoided in future editions. The session will offer future T7 and T20 hosts and participants a shortlist of design choices (governance, rhythm, outputs, convening formats) that strengthen coordination and trust between think tanks, enhance the credibility of the think tank body, and drive real-world uptake and impact of their proposals.

Parallel session 4B: The role of student-led think tanks: education, impact, and professionalization

Elizaveta Barabanova, President, European Student Think Tank
Oscar Bradshaw, Treasurer, Leeds Policy Institute
Sonja Grünbauer, Head of Delegations, EPIS Thinktank
Antonia Wünscher, Think Tank Member, Student Network for Open Science

Student-led think tanks play an important role in shaping the next generation of policy professionals, offering a space for peers to engage with complex issues while building research, leadership, and policy engagement skills. Yet they face distinct challenges — high turnover, limited institutional memory, and the need to balance academic commitments with organizational responsibilities — which can affect continuity, research quality, and long-term strategy. This session explores how student-led think tanks can strengthen their impact and sustainability through more structured organizational models and innovative forms of collaboration. Drawing on approaches such as hybrid and dual-entity models, as well as peer-to-peer engagement strategies, participants will examine how these organizations can be adapted across contexts and how stronger links with established think tanks can support their growth and long-term relevance.

Parallel session 4C: 2026 State of the Sector Report: Hacking the data

Wessam El Beih, Regional Director for Middle East and North Africa, IDRC
Stewart Nixon, Director of Research, IDEAS Malaysia
Tlegen Kuandykov, Program Coordinator, CAPS Unlock
Gabriela Suárez, Executive Director, FARO
Camila Ulloa, Research Officer, On Think Tanks

The State of the Sector Report survey gathers insights from hundreds of think tanks worldwide. In 2026, OTT will invite Conference participants to engage directly with the latest data and emerging findings to help shape the final report. This participatory session will focus on prioritizing key trends, assessing their relevance across regional and national contexts, and co-developing explanations and implications for think tanks and their supporters — turning sector-wide data into shared analysis and practical insight.

Parallel session 4D: From Trust Gap to Trust Infrastructure: The Role of Think Tanks in Rebuilding Institutional Confidence

Lobna Jeribi, Board Member, African Climate Foundation
Corinna Reichenberg, Project Assistant Think Tank Lab, DGAP/Think Tank Lab
Veranika Shykhutsina, External Relations Manager, MERICS/ Think Tank Lab

Across regions, public trust in institutions is under strain, shaped by misinformation, weak transparency, and limited accountability, with different implications across contexts. In this environment, think tanks and research organizations can play a role beyond analysis — helping create the conditions for trust through shared understanding, credible data, transparent processes, and spaces for collaboration. This session explores how trust is built in practice, starting with a case study on how data can support alignment and collective action, and expanding to other “trust drivers” such as strategic communication, accountability, and inclusive participation. Participants will identify the levers most relevant to their contexts and work together to translate them into practical, actionable steps.
