BRICS Policy Center/PUC-Rio Signs Agreement with the Policy Studies Institute, Ethiopia

The BPC/PUC-Rio has signed a cooperation agreement with the Policy Studies Institute (PSI), one of Ethiopia’s leading think tanks. Founded in 2018, the PSI is dedicated to conducting research and analysis of economic, social, and governance policies, disseminating knowledge and contributing to the formulation of public policies.

The partnership between BPC/PUC-Rio and PSI aims to strengthen the exchange of knowledge and institutional capacities, as well as promote collaboration among researchers in scientific work and other academic activities, offering guidance to policymakers, academics, and other interested parties.

Considering Ethiopia’s recent entry into BRICS, the initiative reinforces the academic rapprochement between Brazil and the new members of the respective bloc.
