POLICY

lab
Develop professional projects for private companies, public organizations and non-profits.

DESCRIPTION

Politics is everywhere, but policy-making does not occur in a vacuum; rather, it takes place among complex political and social environments in which different actors, operating within a changing institutional context, interact strategically as they pursue their own agendas.

The Policy Lab is a collaborative space in which students work in policy-related projects. The objective of this Lab is to introduce students to the wide world of policy (policy defined in the broad sense of the term). The Policy Lab is a ‘do-tank’ in which students learn by working in real projects with our partners in the private, non-profit or public sector.
