The Summer 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

From 10:00 to 12:00, the participants are divided into small groups of 10 to 15 persons and follow a course given by an international scholar. They have to choose between:

• • • The Politics of Policy Advice: Understanding Policy Advisory Systems by Laura Chaqués Bonafont
    • Conceptualising and Measuring Policy Design by Giliberto Capano
    • Making Public Policies Work Effectively: Bringing Multiples Stakeholders' Perspectives Back in by Ka Ho Mok

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 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.
