\"PardeePoster042414e_PII\"<\/a>Convened by Pardee Center Faculty Fellow Muhammad Zaman<\/a>, the Task Force will focus on how the emerging economies of Turkey, India, China, Russia, and Brazil are working to develop long-term growth and development policies that improve the living standards for all citizens while at the same time engaging in aid, trade, and development programs with developing countries. Meeting increasing demands for robust higher education systems is key to both improving local innovative capacity and using this capacity for engagement with less developed countries, and the Task Force will focus on the confluence of these issues.\u00a0 The Task Force members will also meet in a closed session on Friday, April 25 for further discussion and to plan for a collaborative publication on this topic.<\/p>\n

The April 24 event will feature individual presentations by each of the Task Force members <\/a>followed by two panel discussion sessions. The agenda for the conference is below.<\/p>\n
