About the Summer School

The virtual summer school is a unique week-long workshop and competition that serves as an introductory primer to different facets of public affairs and public management in different sectors around the world. Five days of faculty-led workshops will be followed by a two-day long policy-analysis competition. Through seminars featuring academicians and public management practitioners, case studies, activity sessions students gain insight and develop skills to understand real-world public affairs and public management issues. Based upon this learning students will work in groups to compete in the policy analysis competition, where they have 48-hours to present their solutions to a novel case-study situation. Certificates will be awarded to the top three teams and to all students for their participation.
