Aspen Policy Academy

The Aspen Policy Academy offers innovative, nonpartisan 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 community leaders into effective advocates. We offer innovative training programs to equip engaged citizens across sectors – from tech to the environment, science to civic engagement – with practical policy skills. 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, the Environment, and Capacity Building  – offering dynamic tools and real-world experience to help diverse voices shape transformative policy decisions.
