Global Infrastructure Affiliate Program

CRGP serves as Stanford University's primary forum for research on the legal, financial, social, and political sustainability of global infrastructure projects. The Collaboratory is funded by pooled contributions from industry, government, and private foundations. By leveraging funds from multiple donors, CRGP offers a continuous program of fundamental, pre-commercial research broader than any member organization could maintain independently. Member organizations gain a competitive advantage from access to cutting-edge research, an elite global network, facilitated recruiting, and value-added services offered by the Collaboratory.
