The PIVRA Expert Network

PIVRA's research and public engagement are informed by a network of senior specialists. Its members include academics and researchers, former public officials and regulators, and experienced practitioners in industry and civil society.

Overview

Composition of the network

Members of the network contribute to PIVRA's research and peer review, deliver sessions in the Expert Series, and take part in roundtables and policy dialogues. Engagements range from advice on a single research question to sustained involvement over the course of a programme. The network covers the policy areas in which PIVRA works, including economic and fiscal policy, energy and infrastructure, trade and finance, sustainable development, health, and social research.

All engagement with the network is coordinated by PIVRA. Where a contribution relates to a member's current or former official responsibilities, it is subject to conflict-of-interest screening before it proceeds.
