La Pietra Policy Dialogues
La Pietra Policy Dialogues aims to make a creative contribution to contemporary public policy debate by convening conversations around some of the most vexing and urgent policy questions in the U.S. and Europe. The Dialogues challenge disciplinary boundaries and conventional thinking by bringing together a wide array of actors not commonly called upon to reflect on policy questions, or to sit at the same table together, including academics, politicians, business leaders, and other public intellectuals, with the ultimate goal of building a rich and diverse network across the Atlantic.
