Levin Releases New Study on Global Talent in the BRIC Countries
Talent has become an increasingly key strategic asset for both nations and corporations and actions have to be taken to raise the quality of the talent pool to meet the economic, technological and societal changes, a 4-year research project – the study of talent in the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Singapore, finds. This major endeavor has been undertaken by The Levin Institute, with support from IBM and participation of researchers from countries under study.

Global Crossroads Videoconference
The LEVIN Institute and the Chronicle of Higher Education have launched a series of videoconferences called Global Crossroads with the intent of stimulating dialogue between students and scholars at various campuses around the world on emerging global topics.
The first one took place on Tuesday November 10th, 2009 at 9am. The topic for the session was: "After Obama's Cairo Speech, What's Next?" Click here to watch the event video. (Please note due to the large file size, the video may take awhile to download)
It featured students and scholars at 3 locations: The American University in Cairo, Education City in Doha, and The LEVIN Institute in NYC.
