Building the institutions of the future

People in this story

A new partnership between Northeastern’s School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs (Policy School) and the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR), formalized today with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), will harness advanced data visualization and other areas of expertise to promote global governance solutions and address growing pressures on the multilateral system.

Collaboration will focus on a new multi-year initiative managed by UNU-CPR – the Global Governance Innovation Platform – which will identify, explore and visualize innovative governance practices, serving as templates for new multilateral institutions and platforms or inspiring reforms to existing ones. 

UNU-CPR Director and Director of the Global Governance Innovation Platform, Dr David Passarelli, noted: “This partnership is rooted in our shared conviction that a more just and secure future is achievable through strengthened international cooperation. By showcasing the ingenuity and innovation at the heart of successful multilateral institutions and partnerships, we will be better positioned to design new institutions capable of addressing complex transboundary challenges and advancing meaningful human progress.”
