Next Generation Writers

BASIC is committed to mentoring and learning from the next generation of policymakers, and is a leading advocate of greater diversity within the think tank community.

What is the Next Generation Programme?

The Next Generation blog offers a select number of future leaders the opportunity to publish articles and reports relevant to our programmes. We can also offer resources to help you get your work published elsewhere, and invite next generation voices in our events.

To contribute, write a pitch in four points: what the story is about in a sentence, sample sentences on how the article will start, a short summary of the rest of the piece, and why you are qualified to write it. Pitches should be sent to [email protected]
