About Harvard Kennedy School:
Harvard Kennedy School trains exceptional public leaders, generates cutting-edge research, and works directly with policymakers and practitioners to make the world more safe, free, just, and sustainably prosperous for all.
Since its founding, HKS has stayed faithful to its mission to improve public policy and leadership so people can live in safer, freer, more just, and more prosperous societies.
Our work to advance the common good has never been more important. In the United States and around the world, many people have lost confidence in their leaders and their governments because of problems in politics, economics, security, and other aspects of our societies. To improve the lives of all people, the passion and skills of the Kennedy School community can make a crucial difference.
This event is organized not by EFF, but by the Harvard Kennedy School.
