About the series
The policy talk series features practitioners and academics involved in shaping public discourse and public policies at the national or international level. Our guest speakers have distinguished careers in politics, public administrations, or diplomacy, work as policy practitioners or researchers, or have leading roles in international organisations and NGO’s advocating for social change responsible governance.
The talks usually take place on Wednesdays (17:30-19:00). The event is open to all members of the university and the public at large. Given the diverse and international audience the event series is held in English. The talks are followed by a Q&A that allow the audience to engage with the speaker and end with a small reception that is open to all participants.
