The Winter School is organized in three different moments during the day.

MORNING LECTURES

Each morning from 9:00 to 10:00, all the participants will participate in the morning lectures. 

COURSES

After a coffee break, the participants are divided into two different groups and follow a course given by an international scholar from 10:15 to 12:15. They had to choose between:

• • • Applying Policy Analysis in the 21st Century by Andrea Migone
    • Policy and Program Design and Evaluation in Complex Situations by Naresh Singh
    • Studying Policy Process with Constructivist, Pragmatic, and Qualitative Approaches by Philippe Zittoun

AFTERNOON WORKSHOP

The afternoon will be dedicated to a three-hour workshop on research design, during which participants will have the opportunity to present a paper for which they would like to receive constructive feedback from the other participants and from the professor. This paper can be a doctoral thesis research project or a project of an article they would like to submit to a journal or present at a conference. The relevant size would be from 5.000 to 10.000 words and it must include a clear research question, a presentation of methodology, and some key arguments.

Participants who don't present a paper will discuss the papers presented with the professor. All the participants are expected to read the papers before the workshop to engage in constructive discussions.
