We are proud to announce that Oxbridge Global Connect has formed an exclusive strategic partnership with the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)—the most influential economic think tank in the United Kingdom.
About the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)
Founded in 1955, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) is one of the world’s leading free-market think tanks. The IEA is dedicated to advancing public understanding of the market economy through rigorous research and open dialogue. Its work spans a wide range of policy areas, including fiscal policy, taxation, regulation, social welfare, and international trade—shaping economic policymaking in both the UK Parliament and the broader global landscape.
The IEA has collaborated with 12 Nobel Laureates in Economics, publishing world-renowned papers and books, and regularly provides expert policy recommendations to the UK Parliament. Xinhua News Agency has frequently cited the IEA as a primary source of British economic perspectives in its international reporting.
Highlights of the Partnership
This strategic collaboration will see Oxbridge Global Connect and the IEA jointly launch a range of international programs focused on academic research, policy development, and youth talent cultivation. Together, we aim to build a vital bridge between Chinese and British free-market economic thought.
