The partnership approach to program development and design will assist Thinkers in Residence to build a rich program with high impact and long-term benefits. One or more partners will be asked to consider provision of matching funding for the direct costs of appointing a Thinker.

Partners will derive direct benefit from the visit of the Thinker. Thinkers may present at a partner's conference, assist the partner organisation in development of organisation strategy, or lead a project proposed by the partner organisation. The level of benefit will be commensurate with the contribution provided.

Benefits can include:

• local/national exposure
• international exposure
• communicating a specific message
• recognition on Thinkers' website and event collateral
• invitation to VIP reception(s)
• preferential ticketing for 'Thinker' events within the agreed program
• ability to use the 'Thinkers' logo for mutually agreed purposes
• access to the Thinker for mutually agreed corporate activities

Government, education, cultural and research organisations who are not partners will also have opportunities to be involved:

• as hosts - organisations which would host an individual Thinker during their stay, including meet and greet, social opportunities, program development, itinerary development, office accommodation, research assistance, access to collections and networks, provision of a suitable working environment, etc
• as presenters of specific program elements - organisations which would partner Thinkers in Residence in specific programs of activity, for example the presentation of a seminar or the implementation of 'satellite' projects
