In keeping with the Wisconsin Idea, one of WAGE's primary missions is to share its international expertise with Wisconsin businesses, government, and the general public.  To this end, the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy regularly sponsors a wide range of lectures, seminars, workshops, and conferences featuring international experts from around the globe as well as UW-Madison faculty and staff.  In the past these programs have examined international business practices and trends, explored global economic and political conditions, and investigated the impact of globalization on the economies of Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest.  

Through our International Trade Partnership, WAGE works to enhance the competitiveness of Wisconsin companies on a global scale, to prepare future leaders for the global marketplace, and to build alliances between the university and business communities.  WAGE Senior Fellows and Affiliates regularly contribute to policy debates and serve on various federal, state and local councils.  To learn more about our many outreach activities, click on the categories to the left or see our Events Calendar for upcoming opportunities.

WAGE encourages you to contact us with questions and suggestions for possible events connecting our knowledge of globalization and the international economy with your interests and professional needs.
