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

MORNING LECTURES

Each morning from 9:00 to 10:00, all participants will attend the morning lectures, delivered by both international faculty and the HBKU College of Public Policy’s local faculty.

COURSES

After a coffee break, the participants are divided into three different groups and follow a course given by an international scholar for 2 hours each day (10 hours in total). They have to choose between:

• • • Crises Unlocked: Navigating between Policy and Political Dimensions by Giliberto Capano
    • Data-driven policymaking in a time of societal transitions by Sarah Giest
    • Effective Policy Design by Leslie Pal

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 for 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.
