At OTT we are busy reconciling our 2023 budgets and forecasting our needs for 2024, so we figured you might be doing the same.
Don’t let unspent funds go to waste. And don’t miss out on the chance to get ahead in 2024.
Here are four ideas to inspire you.
1. Horizon scanning for 2024
Make sure your 2024 priorities are informed by the latest trends, reports and debates. OTT's research support service (RSS) can deliver a horizon or landscape scan. And we can keep you abreast of sector developments throughout the year with a fortnightly or monthly email round up, including from our global community of think tanks.
Send us a message to find out more.
2. Lessons learned case studies for 2023
End of the year is the perfect time to reflect on your work and impact. Commission OTT to deliver a series of case studies or outcome stories to look back and learn from your efforts in 2023.
3. Leadership skills
A little bit of leftover budget will go a long way if you secure a place for yourself or a staff member at the School for Thinktankers. Each year a new cohort of policy entrepreneurs meets in Brussels to learn about the multiple dimensions of thinktanking and to prepare for, or strengthen, leadership roles.
There are still a few places left at the next School in January 2024, or you can register early for 2025. Register your interest.
4. Support the OTT Conference 2024 and 2025
We take pride in bringing together thinktankers, funders and policy experts from around the world each year, and we know it makes a difference.
If you are able to sponsor the event and help fund the participation of think tanks from the Global South, contact us.
5. Think tank mapping
