DESCRIPTION

Our workshop is looking at non-governmental organizations through the lens of Think Tanks. It introduces students to the theory and practice of policy-related consultancy work. Transatlantic experts and practitioners from the field provide top-notch input and perspectives. Together, we discuss opportunities (and shortcomings) in engaging with local, transatlantic, and global challenges.
The workshop provides substantial training for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in public policy, international organizations, government agencies, higher education, and the (international) private sector. Participants foster strategic thinking and writing skills and learn how to translate their analytical work into policy-relevant formats.
