Overview
Tufts University is the parent institution to The Fletcher School, the oldest school in the U.S. dedicated solely to graduate studies in international affairs. The university is currently building a program in cybersecurity and policy that will involve Fletcher and the computer science department. The focus is to combine tech and policy training by introducing new courses, research, and outreach that lead to effective career planning and internship opportunities in this realm. This program grant will allow for three main efforts: (a) focused research on the organizations best suited for developing cryptographic standards, (b) development of courses that bridge policy and technical divides, (c) and a student symposium in cybersecurity.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Climate Policy Lab
The Climate Policy Lab will examine mitigation policies (with a focus on the Global South) through the lenses of what works, what doesn’t, and how to engage effectively for these rapidly developing economies to embrace a low-carbon pathway. The goal is to support the design and implementation of low-cost, scalable mitigation policies and solutions that facilitate countries achieving their net-zero targets. The lab’s goal is to increase both climate ambition and the effectiveness of their implementation of existing climate goals. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
