KDI School is looking for TWO (2) students who will be participating in the NASPAA Student Simulation Competition from February 25 (Saturday) to 26 (Friday) at Tsinghua University – School of Public Policy and Management, Beijing, China. The School will support a round-trip flight ticket (from Seoul to Beijing), accommodation, and meal allowance during the competition.

WHAT IS NASPAA STUDENT SIMULATION COMPETITION?

A daylong competition for graduate students sat NASPAA Schools to work together to solve a complex public policy problem by using a simulation. The simulation model will emulate the process of solving real world problems while offering a distinctive experience to students. Students will interact with a model and see the potential results across a twenty-year span of time. On February 25, 2017, graduate students from NASPAA schools will compete at 8 global sites around the world in a dynamic daylong competition. Public administration and policy students will analyze a Food Security problem (related to UN Sustainable Development Goal #2) and present their solutions to a panel of expert judges. The competition will feature a simulation model, which requires students to apply the skills they learned in the classroom and implement systems thinking.
