CALL FOR APPLICATIONS -- EUROPEAN PUBLIC POLICY CONFERENCE 2013

'Breaking the Cycle: Rethinking Poverty in the Developed World'

The 5th European Public Policy Conference will take place in Paris from April 18th-20th, 2013.

The conference brings together graduate students from leading policy schools in the Global Public Policy Network and beyond, to discuss pressing policy issues with fellow students, political leaders, and scholars.

The conference 'Breaking the Cycle: Rethinking Poverty in the Developed World' is a timely response to the problems faced by the most vulnerable in society. The austerity measures, adopted in the wake of the financial crisis, continue to push an ever-greater number into poverty whilst worsening the predicament of those already in need. The conference aims to address this most pressing challenge, which we continue to face in the 21st century.

Students wishing to participate are invited to write an abstract or paper. Cash prizes will be awarded to students submitting the best abstract or paper; those students will also be asked to present at the conference. Submission deadline for applications is February 25th, please see the PDF attached for further information.
