We're All About Expertise.

Every time a crisis unfolds - casting the world's attention to Iraq or Syria or, most recently, Ukraine - we often find ourselves wanting to be better informed but struggling to figure out how. ​A desk officer, analyst, or journalist on a new 'beat' faces the same question: how do I get up to speed quickly?

At the Sage Institute, we are answering that question by making unparalleled expertise in foreign relations accessible to all.

Cultivate Expertise

We are focused on cultivating the 'next gen' of political analysts as true specialists who objectively inform on global issues.

Curate Expertise

We help experts take what is in their heads and make that accessible and usable to laypeople or non-specialists.

Certify Expertise

We help figure out who has their finger on the pulse of a particular country's politics. 

Coming Soon!

We're anticipating our first product to curate country expertise and make it accessible to all in 2023. Whether you are a journalist, a policymaker, an analyst, a student, or a curious layperson trying to get smarter on foreign affairs, stay up to date with our progress!

Brand Story

We are a non-profit started by international relations analysts and educators, so the globe represents our starting point.  The spade represents our focus on skill and expertise. A spade is traditionally associated with card games like poker, spades, or hearts. Just like political analysis, these games require the development of specific skills and ultimately expertise for real understanding - and yet, even with that, there will always be an element of luck or surprise!
