PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH NETWORK
learn, exchange, improve
The PPRN is an inter-university platform which aims to foster methodological training, cooperation, and debate between doctoral students working in the broad field of public policy and political economy.
At the PPRN we learn from one another, making the most of our PhD
METHODOLOGICAL TRAINING
Research methods are the pillars of rigorous, empirical research. At the PPRN we organise research seminars on quantitative and qualitative methods to improve the quality of our research.
PEER-TO-PEER PAPER DISCUSSIONS
Feedback is always useful! Especially on early drafts of soon-to-be papers or chapters of our thesis. At the PPRN the members discuss their work in an informal peer-to-peer environment.
GUEST SPEAKERS AND SPECIAL LECTURES
Important questions for important speakers. What are the new frontiers of public policy research? What are the cutting-edge methodologies in the social sciences? Big Data and Public Policy? How to bridge normative and empirical political science?
