International Advisory Network
TESS is supported by a regionally diverse International Advisory Network of senior and mid-career experts, participating in their personal capacities, drawn from international organisations, civil society and business stakeholder groups, academic centres, and research organisations.
The International Advisory Network is convened on-line quarterly to jointly scan the horizon for emerging strategic policy opportunities and challenges; provide input on where TESS can most add value; suggest relevant experts and stakeholders to engage; and exchange information on policy developments and work in progress.
