G20 Research Group The G20 Research Group is a global network of scholars, students and professionals in the academic, research, business, non-governmental and other communities who follow the work of the G20 leaders, finance ministers and central bank governors, and other G20 institutions. It is directed from Trinity College, the Munk School of Global Affairs and the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, which also host the <strong>G7</strong> Research Group and the BRICS Research Group. Our mission is to serve as the world’s leading independent source of information and analysis on the G20. As scholars, we accurately describe, explain and interpret what the G20 and its members do. As teachers and public educators, we present to the global community and G20 governments the results of our research and information about the G20. As citizens, we foster transparency and accountability in G20 governance, through assessments of G20 members’ compliance with their summit commitments and the connection between civil society and G20 governors. And as professionals, we offer evidence-based policy advice about G20 governance, but do not engage in advocacy for or about the G20 or the issues it might address. Background Books and eBooks With Newsdesk Media in the United Kingdom, for each summit the G20 Research Group produces a “background book,” freely available in print and online, outlining the perspectives of the leaders and key stakeholders and offering analysis by leading global experts. It also works with Newsdesk Media to produce free eBooks and analysis available at <strong>G7</strong>G20.com. Compliance Assessments For each summit the G20 Research Group, working with the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), assesses each G20 member’s compliance with the previous summit’s priority commitments. Cumulative compliance assessments are compiled on key issues. Pre-summit Conferences With a local partner in the country hosting the summit along with a core group of international partners, the G20 Research Group produces a conference in the lead-up to each summit analyzing the institutional workings of the G20 and the issues, plans and prospects for the summit. Field Team The G20 Research Group sends a field team to each summit and some ministerial meetings to assist the world’s media, issue its own reports and analyses, allow students to witness world politics at the highest level at close hand, and collect the documents and artifacts uniquely available at the summit, to build the G20 archives at Trinity College’s John Graham Library and online at the G20 Information Centre website. G20 Information Centre @ www.g20.utoronto.ca The G20 Information Centre is a comprehensive permanent collection of material available online at no charge. It complements the <strong>G7</strong> Information Centre, which houses publicly available archives on the G20 as well as the <strong>G7</strong> and G8, and the BRICS Information Centre, as well as Newsdesk Media’s <strong>G7</strong>G20.com. Speaker Series The G20 Research Group hosts occasional speakers in its efforts to educate scholars and the public about the issues and workings of the G20. Past speakers have included senior officials of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and scholars and policy makers from Mexico, Turkey, China, Australia, Brazil, <strong>Italy</strong> and elsewhere. Research The G20 Research Group conducts research on the causes of summit and system performance and the G20’s relationship with the <strong>G7</strong>/8, BRICS, United Nations and other formal multilateral institutions.
