Co-Sponsored Conferences

Co-sponsored programs combine Liberty Fund's extensive experience in conference development with the expertise and networks of our co-sponsors.

Liberty Fund and its co-sponsoring institutions conduct educational programs to advance the exploration of liberty and the ideal of a free and responsible society.

Liberty Fund’s professional staff develops and approves the intellectual content of all co-sponsored conferences, while its co-sponsors take responsibility for the administration, participant selection, and overall execution of the programs. Programs feature text-based discussion but may also feature lectures, panel presentations, curriculum demonstrations, and more.

Participants at co-sponsored programs are typically graduate students, young professionals, and academics.

We put a high value on our collaborative relationship with Liberty Fund. Working in partnership, we are able to enhance our productivity in bringing young people together to consider many of the important ideas, authors, and books in the canon of human history.

Desde el año 2013, el programa de co-sponsor con Liberty Fund ha sido una parte integral de los programas educativos de la Fundación Libertad. Este programa nos ha permitido invitar a un gran número de académicos, profesionales, y estudiantes de la Argentina y la región a explorar las contribuciones de autores clásicos y contemporáneos al estudio del ideal de una sociedad de individuos libres y responsables. Por medio de este programa, esperamos también poder contribuir a incrementar la calidad del debate intelectual de la región familiarizando a nuestros participantes con el formato socrático de las conferencias de Liberty Fund.

Faculty and practitioners alike comment that the colloquia we co-sponsor with Liberty Fund are among the most intellectually invigorating and enjoyable conferences they get to attend. It is rare to find an organization genuinely dedicated to discussing, without fear or favor, the great books and ideas of Western history—and Liberty Fund is truly extraordinary in that respect.

The Adam Smith Fellowship program, Liberty Fund's co-sponsored program with the Mercatus Center, brings in energetic students from across continents and disciplines, gives them space and resources to interact, and lets those repeated interactions flourish into meaningful projects. I continue to benefit from the intellectually stimulating experiences I had as an Adam Smith Fellow and the lasting intellectual partnerships I built through the program.

The Liberty Fund colloquium format is unparalleled for facilitating vibrant discussion among scholars and students with diverse perspectives. Now, as a professor at Tulane University, I use the Liberty Fund colloquium format in my own graduate seminars.

Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Tulane University

Participating in the Adam Smith Fellowship program, Liberty Fund's co-sponsored program with the Mercatus Center, allowed me to stay connected to classical liberal scholarship while simultaneously pursuing more technical graduate training. Both the readings and the associated discussions have made me a more balanced and more effective researcher.
