HISTORY AT HARVARD 0На українській мові Русская версия
 The U.S.-Ukrainian Investment Symposium is based on the successful model of its predecessor, the U.S.-Russian Investment Symposium, established in 1997 at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

Allison created the Symposium help strengthen economic relations between the U.S. and Russia through practical business and policy dialogue.
