IGP Honorary Professor and Co-President of The New Alignment to be joining the T20 US

Dennis Snower, Honorary Professor and Co-President of The New Alignment programme for G20 policy advice at the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP), will be joining the Advisory Council for the Think 20 (T20) US from June 2026. The T20 is a research and ideas hub engaging think tanks and policy experts to provide evidence-based recommendations to the G20.

The theme for the T20 US this year is “Harnessing Knowledge and Ensuring Continuity for Better Policymaking in Uncertain Times.” This policy research network will build and share practical and timely knowledge products for all G20 policymakers, in line with all Member States and regional groupings’ priorities.

The T20 works through workstreams to create policy solutions that inform the G20 leaders around the key themes – including trade, energy security, pioneering new technologies and strengthening global coordination on socioeconomic development and peacebuilding.

This role will help bridge the current US G20 Presidency and informal T20 process with the work of the IGP through The New Alignment programme launching on 26th May, which aims to lead the T20 engagement group under the UK G20 Presidency in 2027.

Professor Snower is an American-German-British economist specialising in macroeconomics and labour theory and policy, digital governance and social economics. He is currently working on a new economic paradigm based on human sociality. Alongside Prof. William Hynes, he will be teaching a new module at IGP on AI, Prosperity and the Economics of Transformation in Term 2 of the new academic year.

"I am pleased to join the Advisory Council for the Think 20 this year, and will contribute to building a policy advisory bridge between the current US G20 Presidency and the UK G20 Presidency next year." Prof Dennis Snower

Snower is also the Founding President and a Fellow of the Global Solutions Initiative, Berlin; Professorial Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking, Oxford University; and Non-resident Fellow at Brookings.
