• Sponsoring leading edge research on emerging problems of the global economy;

• Providing a recognized forum where researchers and others doing research on international policy issues can share ideas;

• Serving as an all-University catalyst and clearinghouse for education on global policy issues;

• Fostering communication between the international research resources of the University and Minnesota's business and public sector;

• Partnering with public and private organizations to translate research results into concise information and public educational opportunities for citizens in Minnesota and the region on the implications of global economic interdependence.
