about us

Thinking Ahead on Societal Change: an open platform to support constructive dialogue and cooperation in the midst of change and transitions.

What We Do

The TASC Platform encourages a growing community of policymakers, businesses, researchers and civil society to engage beyond their comfort zones. We apply a multi-disciplinary approach to explore new connections and expand toolkits and mindsets to understand and support peaceful, human-centered change and transitions.

By providing a place for people to share perspectives, connect visions and develop new solutions, we can bring the unknowns of the future into focus and act on them today.

work with us to:

  • Engage beyond comfort zones – bring people together across silos to facilitate interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and inter-generational dialogue. Together we focus on missing links, the nexus between issues, and the meaningful inclusion of under-represented voices. 

  • Explore new connections – convene events, conduct applied research, support innovation and incubation of new ideas, build new networks and communities of practice.

  • Expand collective understanding – gather insights and tools to shift mindsets, challenge narratives, and strengthen policy-making and practice on societal transitions, uncertainty and the social contract.  

A unique position

Strategically located in International Geneva, home to the world’s largest concentration of international organizations and diplomatic missions, we bring together a diverse, multi-stakeholder community at the heart of global efforts to drive positive societal change.

As an independent body supported by the Government of Switzerland and embedded in the Center for Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI) of the Geneva Graduate Institute, we leverage the latest thinking in the academic world and embrace a culture of openness, critical thinking, and global cooperation.
