This event helped to bridge the gap between academia, praxis and impact, with the ambition to broaden academic engagement with government. Its aims include raising awareness of current tax issues; to facilitate effective communication between academics and governments; to share knowledge between researchers and governments; to encourage collaboration between researchers and governments
