Winter School - Doha Edition 2025

How to apply

Applications to attend the International Winter School on Public Policy - Doha edition are open until December, 1st. We invite you to consult the courses and workshop proposals separately to identify your favorite ones.

For the mornings, you can choose between two courses which represent 10 hours (2 hours each day):

The role of typologies in Public Policy. Why they are needed, and why they must be used carefully by Giliberto Capano
Policy Coordination for Sustainable Transitions by Charlotte Halpern
Effective Policy Design by M Ramesh

The afternoon workshops on Research Design represent 12 hours (3 hours by 4 days).

The selection of the participants will be based on their CVs and on their research paper abstracts (if they choose to present a paper during the workshops).

The results will be announced progressively. The registration will open in parallel to allow accepted candidates to register as soon as they receive their results. Attendance to the Summer School will be confirmed upon registration. The number of places in each course is limited and registration is open within the limit of available places (around 10 participants per course). To ensure your participation, we strongly advise you to submit your application and register as early as possible.
