ONGOING RESEARCH
The current research projects of the Center for Innovation & Partnerships relate to three main topics: ecosystems for scaling digital solutions, organizing innovation in bureaucratic organizations, and global partnerships across sectors.
Future topics include bias and ethics in socially oriented Artificial Intelligence projects, uncovering the tensions of innovations spinning out of the UN, and a strong focus on the intersection of partnerships, innovation, and ecosystems for solving the SDGs.
