Global Experts Community
Consumers International’s Global Expert Community provides leading universities and academics with opportunities for collaboration and joint initiatives, to enrich the discourse on consumer rights and advocacy and help us build impactful programmes and projects. In the group, experts will gain first hand access to consumer insights, connect with household names from across our membership, discuss latest thinking and be able to promote their work across our channels.
WHAT IS THE GLOBAL EXPERTS COMMUNITY
In the group the experts will:
- Help to shape members’ activities, such as through direct collaboration on their research.
- Showcase their work, with latest features place across our website. See two blogs from our community members here and here.
- Contribute to Consumers International research, by being invited to special advisory groups which shape our work or to consultations on research studies.

Some of our current research opportunities include consulting and gaining access to:
