The ESADE Institute of Public Governance and Management (IGDP) – consists of a group of experts in government and public sector organisations. Created in 1993, the IGDP has served to consolidate the experience already accumulated by ESADE since the 1980s when it began its initial endeavours in the public management field. Since then, more than 2,000 public leaders and managers have participated in the numerous activities organised, and the extensive research, books, conferences, scientific articles, case studies and other material published attest to IGDP members’ academic activity.
The Brandeis University International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life – develops effective responses to conflict and injustice by offering innovative approaches to coexistence, strengthening the work of international courts, and encouraging ethical practice in civic and professional life. In addition to overseeing the Brandeis Programs in International Justice and Society and the Sorensen Fellowship, the Center supports programs in Peacebuilding and the Arts, which look beyond conflict resolution to the vision of a just and sustainable peace.
