Sage's Expert Community brings together country specialists from around the world: people with deep, sustained expertise and active engagement with contacts on the ground and at every level of government. Sage convenes them in a first-of-its-kind global professional community, with curated channels and structured forums where they exchange knowledge, identify parallels across contexts, and surface insights that strengthen diplomacy and public understanding. Specialists rarely have a place to compare notes with someone who knows another country as well as they know theirs. This is that place.

A core value of ours is to champion these experts. Many have devoted their careers to remaining at the forefront of their specialty, investing countless hours, often without compensation, engaging people on the ground and tracking events closely. We are committed to fair compensation for their knowledge and to ensuring their insights reach those responsible for global decision-making and the public, including voices too often overlooked in this field, such as women and local experts.
