The Vision 20 meeting in China (March 29 to April 1) and the network is to bring together scholars from various fields with think tank leaders, civil society and private sector leaders, and government leaders with the hope of generating ideas and actionable items for the long and medium-term while finding ways to initiate such processes in the short term. |
