Events 

CCBS holds a variety of events throughout the year, including lectures, policy seminars and publication launches, for which sponsorship opportunities are available. These events take place both in person and online.  

Sponsors will have their logo displayed on all relevant promotional materials, during the event on backdrops and on the CCBS website. Sponsors will also be included on any printed materials related to the event.
