[Policy Forum]

The KDI School Policy Forum invites and sponsors student research groups on various thematic areas of public policy, development policy and public management (FM, TI, PF, RE, SD, ID, PA, SM, GP or any interdisciplinary topic of these areas).

 

Successful high-quality policy reports produced by the student research groups will be published in the KDI School Policy Review, a newly launched student journal in the KDI School. We take this opportunity to foster discussion on the current policy agendas and to facilitate policy research activities among student body with a package of financial and administrative support, including conference participation and peer-reviewed journal publication.

 

This is a new initiative that the KDI School proudly offers to all students who are ready to lead the global society of many important and complex challenges.

Thank you
