It will gather PhD students and Postdocs from any social science background who study public governance (comprising all aspects of public policy, public administration, public management, and governance) using either qualitative or quantitative methods, or formal modelling. The purpose of the event is fostering exchanges, connections and collaborations between doctoral researchers across the alliance.

Participation is free of charge. All meals will be covered by Circle U. – King’s College London.Participants should contact their home university international mobility offices for more information about Circle U. funding to cover for their travel and accommodation.

There will be a maximum of 18 presentations, lasting about 30 minutes each (including Q&A). Participants will be asked to send a paper (work in progress) in advance of the workshop. Each paper will have a discussant from the faculty of the departments affiliated with the Open School in the 9 partner universities (Aarhus, Belgrade, Humboldt, Louvain, King’s, Oslo, Paris, Pisa, Vienna) and a peer-discussant from the participants.

We look forward to offering excellent network opportunities, accurate feedback and engaging social events.
