The Panel gathered in 2015-2019 a global community of 350+ authors and contributors from various disciplines. The Panel revealed the existence of an impressive and largely untapped amount of expertise and goodwill in academia. Building on this nucleus, the Panel has decided since 2022 to upscale the connections with a much larger set of stakeholders, as well as to extend the networking to the large universe of civil society actors and changemakers.
The Panel now forms a cross-sectoral community of 700+ contributors, associates and helpers from various segments of society: scholars, international organisations experts, civil society actors, social entrepreneurs, private sector leaders, etc.
The Panel mobilizes their expertise, helps disseminate their best ideas and upscales their inspiring initiatives. They provide feedback on report drafts and other deliverables, and increase the societal reach of the Panel. This network will continue to grow in the coming months and will be a key, though not exclusive, channel through which ideas will circulate both ways between society and the active members of IPSP.
