The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) has announced a new partnership with the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), which hosts the Raisina Dialogue, India’s premier conference on geopolitics and geo-economics.
The partnership will be launched in November at the 2017 WISE Summit with the participation of a high-level Indian delegation. WISE will, in turn, join the annual Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi in January 2018, according to a press statement. The new partnership follows the participation of a WISE delegation at the Raisina Dialogue and the Asian Forum on Global Governance in New Delhi earlier this year.
This provided an opportunity for WISE to highlight education issues. ORF, which organises the Raisina Dialogue, is a premier non-partisan Indian policy research think-tank with a mission to influence public policy formulation. WISE CEO Stavros N Yiannouka said: “The WISE partnership with the Raisina Dialogue presents an exciting new opportunity to strengthen engagement between two leading think-tanks in India and Qatar.” Sunjoy Joshi, ORF’s director, added: “ORF is delighted to announce this partnership with WISE. I am confident this collaboration will catalyse the formation of new actionable ideas, so essential to our quest of creating a world that is both socially and economically more equitable.”
