I don’t have anything to do with INET monetas, but know that so far they have partnered with the LSE in London and Oxford University and I presume they are looking for other friends and partners in crime. Using the participant list and some nimble excel sheets, it turns out that the American North East is well represented (to be expected), and there are definetly a top ten (well, nine) coming out for new thinking:
TOTAL Student Attendee Grantee INET board
| Harvard | 7 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| Boston | 6 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Columbia | 6 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| New School | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Balsilie int’l affairs | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Berkeley | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
| U. Mass (Amherst) | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
| Central European U. | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| McGill | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
So it’s the local schools first, with Harvard and Boston topping, but Columbia, New School and Balsilie have a very strong presence here, with students and faculty showing up. So perhaps some potential partners are to be found in this list, it seems full of good candidates both for new economic thinking and new ideas. As for INET’s current partners, they find themselves in the ‘also rans’ with 2 representatives each. Although, you can’t say they aren’t in good company: Bard, Cambridge, Carleton, Duke, Freie (Berlin), LSE, MIT, New South Wales (Sydney), NYU, Oxford, Roosevelt, Santa Fe Inst, Stanford, UCL & UCLA.
