Impact Stories

The interagency institute was built as a collective of expat women PhD researchers. We publish 2 Policy Briefs per month (a total of 65 already published). We were involved in important international events such as the Fundamental Rights Forum, Humanitarian Partnerships Weeks, and OC24h Conference on Global Organized Crime. We have made advocacy at the UNODC and participate into the SE4U initiative. We are focused on connecting the Global South (Portuguese and Spanish Speaking Countries), and inter-agency cooperation enhacement.
