A2 Intensive: Case Study (International Field Workshop) (5140730-2/5179004-2)
November 12, 2020

The International Field Workshop (IFW) will move to a virtual format this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The overarching theme is “Strategic foresight in addressing public policy challenges beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The number of students allowed to participate will be limited to about 10 due to the nature of the course involving a series of intensive discussion with professionals at our counterpart organizations. A pre-registration screening will be conducted before registration (A2 course registration period: November 26-December 2).

GraSPP Office will take care of registration for those who are allowed to register—students cannot register via UTAS by themselves.
