Grants to this Grantee
for India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
The Aspen Institute, in partnership with Ananta Aspen Centre in India, manages the India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change. This sponsorship grant helped the institute assemble a group of experts from government, NGOs, academia, and the business community to help define a constructive bilateral agenda on critical energy and climate concerns. The Track II Dialogue aims to foster trust and cooperation, and uses targeted analyses to suggest concrete pathways for collaboration between the governments and relevant subnational and nonstate actors.

for the project Advancing a New Paradigm for Public Education
The Aspen Institute is a nonpartisan forum for values-based leadership and the exchange of ideas. Its Education & Society Program seeks to improve public education outcomes by informing, influencing, and inspiring education leaders across policy and practice, with an emphasis on achieving equity for students of color and students from low-income families. The Aspen Institute asserts that in today’s complex educational landscape, the country lacks a unifying vision for its public schools. This grant supports a series of exploratory conversations to reconceptualize public education’s purpose, discuss plausible definitions of success, and consider the measures of progress that would accompany a new paradigm for public education.
