The Maryam Forum is a product of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), one of the world’s leading universities, and its Institute of Global Affairs (IGA) at the new LSE School of Public Policy (SPP).To foster a better leadership ecosystem, the Co-Labs each comprise a coalition of representatives of the Forum’s different partner groups. By unlocking the power of collaboration across diverse perspectives, the Co-Labs aim to co-create the most effective strategies and approaches that leaders might deploy to address global problems.

Membership of each Co-Lab includes participants from both developed and emerging regions, characterised by diversity. The Co-Labs are supported by deep engagement with LSE students and faculty, with students from LSE’s School of Public Policy playing a key role throughout – including by conducting and supporting research.

This research Co-Lab was launched during the G20 Leaders Summit 2020.
