  • Do Philanthropist Need to Improve their PR?

Should philanthropists be allowed to support development however they see fit, or should their altruism be under greater scrutiny? That was the central theme of a panel discussion at UCL on Monday evening, 30th March 2015.

The event focused on the ethics of global philanthropy and saw Clare Matterson, Director of Strategy at the Wellcome Trust and Andre Heller Perache of Medicins sans Frontiers (MSF) engage in a lively debate with Professor Rob Reich, Associate Professor of Political Science at Stanford University and a leading authority in the field.
