Engage

The Growth Lab engages with the academic and development community in the classroom and through seminars and events.

Our research insights are integrated into master's and doctoral degree curricula at Harvard Kennedy School, and HKS Executive Education programs serving senior economists and policymakers. We reach hundreds of students every year and the Growth Lab's course alumni network stands at 3,000+, many of whom are teaching our methodologies in graduate programs at top universities around the world.  

Through our Research Seminar Series and Development Talks, we hosted more than 50 events and 1,500 attendees in 2021.
