Time flies when you’re innovating! It has been five incredible years since the Think Tank Lab was founded. Together, we have explored new methods, prototyped policy solutions, and built a vibrant community of changemakers.
To celebrate this journey, we invite you to an evening full of contributions from our community, words from longstanding Think Tank Lab partners, and networking.
Program
We will start with two inputs. Daniela Schwarzer (tbc), executive board member of the Bertelsmann Foundation and member of the Think Tank Lab Sounding Board, and Claire Luzia Leifert, head of organizational development and strategy at Wikimedia and founder of the Think Tank Lab, will reflect on opportunities and challenges in the think tank sector as well as on the vision with which the Lab started five years ago.
We will then give the floor to you – our community. Exchange in a World Café format will provide the opportunity to learn about innovative setups and methods such as Foresight, Gamification, Design Thinking, Table Top Exercises, and AI. At a Community Spotlight station, you are invited to contribute spontaneously if you have exciting projects, opportunities, or insights to share.
We will conclude the evening with a walking dinner, some drinks, and networking.
