WhiteBoard is aimed towards policymakers, business enterprises, young professionals, international partners, researchers and concerned political leaders

• WhiteBoard is needed to promote evidence-based, logical and incisive discussion, as well as constructive debate.
• Quality of writeups need to be more elaborate and in-depth than OpEd articles but less than an academic paper or research report.
• Fun and engaging writeups are sought (ref: Economist, Project Syndicate or WEF style). Short, simple, easily readable sentences are sought. Avoid passive voice. 
• An international audience should be able to read. It should also have the rigor to influence policies.   
• Editorial team reserve the right to emend title of the writeup.
