Think Tank Academy

The SGroup Think Tanks have emerged as powerful engines of thought leadership, policy development, and interdisciplinary collaboration. By fostering dialogue and generating evidence-based solutions, they aim to shape impactful strategies at the institutional and societal levels.

Through regular exchanges, joint initiatives, and knowledge-sharing events, the Think Tanks strengthen the intellectual fabric of the SGroup network and contribute to the broader European and international discourse. As engines of forward-thinking ideas and policy innovation, they embody the spirit of cooperation and excellence that defines the SGroup community.

These think tanks serve as intellectual hubs where scholars, researchers, and experts from member institutions tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our societies today – from sustainability and digital transformation to inclusion and geopolitical shifts.

Divided into Regional Think Tanks and thematic Think Tanks, here are our network's five Think Tanks:

  • Think Thank for China 
  • Think Tank for Latin America 
  • Think Tank for Africa 
  • Think Tank for Social Mission of Universities 
  • Think Tank for Innovative Doctoral Education

With its focus on cross-border dialogue and evidence-based insights, SGroup seeks to foster strategic partnerships between academia, research, and policy-making bodies. It amplifies the collective impact of SGroup Universities by translating academic expertise into actions that shape higher education, drive innovation, and contribute to societal well-being.

We invite you to explore the rich diversity of each Think Tank's mission and the depth of its expertise across Europe and beyond. Together, they reflect the shared commitment of SGroup institutions to respond to global challenges and lead in addressing them.

Join us as we explore the contributions and vision of each Think Tank and discover how these centers of thought leadership are helping to shape the future of higher education and global progress.
