A room full of thinktankers+ sharing their unpopular opinions. It’s not often that you get a room full of people laughing while disagreeing. Well done @onthinktanks for this excellent session expertly chaired by @davidwatson_m @andreabaertl at #OTTconference.

Are funders becoming more activist? What's the consequence for #thinktanks? @onthinktanks founder and director @QQMendizabal reflects on what he calls a 'bittersweet' 2022 and his hopes for a more moderate 2023. Interesting read. .
Studies noted political uncertainty as a hallmark of a frustrating 2022 for #thinktanks. In response, .@QQMendizabal reasons that #advocacy & campaigning became a more visible feature of funders. But just how counterproductive is this approach? . Read 👇
