Stanford's Presidential Fund for Innovation in International Studies

By virtue of the ideas we generate and the people we educate, the university plays a critical role in helping the global community address issues of peace and security, governance, and human well-being. Stanford has the opportunity to be the leading institution in the search for knowledge and solutions for these problems and in the education of future leaders equipped to deal with 21st century problems.

The Stanford Project on Regions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SPRIE)

SPRIE is led by Co-Directors William F. Miller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Henry S. Rowen, Asia/Pacific Research Center, along with Associate Director Marguerite Gong Hancock. Working with SPRIE are associated faculty and a team of international graduate research assistants from Stanford's Graduate School of Business, Institute for International Studies, School of Engineering, and departments of History, Political Science, and Sociology. This multidisciplinary Stanford team collaborates with partners from academia, industry, and governments at the forefront of their respective regions around the world.
