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.

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?
