The conference was also a great opportunity for GPPN deans and faculty members to meet and discuss various exciting topics and new ideas relevant to public policy higher education. Deans also attended the “Deans’ Roundtable” entitled “Global Public Policy in an Age of De-Globalisation and Nationalist Populism”.
In addition, the first cohorts of the GPPN SDG Professional Certificate Program (a year-long joint programme) presented their final project.
*GPPN is a partnership between seven prestigious universities in public policy: The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, the Institute of Public Affairs at the London School of Economics and Political Science, School of Public Affairs at Sciences Po, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, Hertie School of Governance, Fundção Getulio Vargas at the Escola de Administração de Empresas (FGV-EAESP) in Sao Paulo and the Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Tokyo.
