Increase Your Research Capacity

Using IGLOO, research organizations, academics and practitioners are empowered to simultaneously develop, launch, manage and cultivate a variety of high-profile global research communities on the Web. These communities have incremental value, evolving into interconnected knowledge networks. Such networks improve knowledge sharing amongst peers, stimulate re-use of existing research, provide broader scope of feedback and input on research findings, ignite spontaneous formulation of innovative think tanks, and foster greater levels of involvement of the public in initiatives to accelerate a higher quality of research to much broader and knowledgeable audiences. Research capability is greatly augmented by the creation and access to a critical mass of research experts in a variety of disciplines. Participation in this informational nexus enhances your reputation and improves your ability to affect global change.

"As the original independent public-policy research organization, the Brookings Institution is always looking for ways to connect with scholars and partner-institutions around the world. IGLOO is an excellent means of doing so. It provides a centralized neighborhood in cyberspace where far-flung participants can gather, interact, and collaborate.
