In the seventh episode of the “Sound of Thought” podcast series from “DERASAT,” we host His Excellency Mr. Sami Ben Jannet, Director General of the Tunisian Institute for Strategic Studies, in a discussion addressing the role of think tanks in anticipating rapid transformations, supporting public policy, and contributing to decision-making.
The discussion also explores prospects for cooperation among Arab think tanks and the importance of building more effective research networks, as well as the transformations brought about by artificial intelligence and modern technologies in research and analytical tools—including the opportunities they present and the professional and ethical challenges they pose.
The session highlights young people as partners in shaping the future and emphasizes the importance of strengthening their presence in research and intellectual institutions, thereby helping to strike a balance between openness to the world and pride in Arab identity, history, and culture.
