Why Facts and Think Tanks Matter

in an Age of Disinformation

To mark the Global Go To Think Tank Index Report Launch, LSE IDEAS and 90 other think tanks hosted events in their countries, scrutinising and forging an answer to this year’s main, umbrella topic: Why Facts and Think Tanks Matter. A panel of distinguished, LSE IDEAS affiliated speakers, with different academic interests and professional background discussed the contemporary role and impact of think tanks, in the current global political climate, dominated by disinformation.
