Throughout the year, Stanford PACS hosts an array of events touching on areas of focus. Many of our events are open to the public, while some are invitation-only or focused on convening specific groups of scholars and practitioners to further issue-specific discussions.
In addition to our annual schedule of events, Stanford PACS hosts two signature events on a regular schedule. We host a Junior Scholars Forum each year and our Philanthropy Innovation Summit every two years.
Upcoming Events
Building a New Future: The Role of Foundations in Addressing Inequality
Join Rob Reich, professor of political science at Stanford University and faculty co-director of Stanford PACS, and Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, for a dynamic conversation about how foundations are evolving to address inequality and advance social justice.
