Aspen Policy Academy

Transforming Expertise Into Impact

The Aspen Policy Academy offers innovative training programs to empower leaders to craft solutions for society’s most pressing challenges.

The Aspen Policy Academy

The Aspen Institute’s Policy Academy turns leaders into policy advocates. We equip subject-matter experts and community leaders across sectors – from tech to climate, science to social impact – with practical strategies for policymaking. The Policy Academy builds on the work of our predecessor, the Aspen Tech Policy Hub, which is now one of the Academy’s core initiatives. Our programming focuses on three main areas – Tech, Environment, and Capacity Building – offering dynamic tools and real-world experience to help diverse voices shape transformative policy decisions.
