Research Topics in Administration
The Research Topics in Administration promote the debate of high-quality research in management and public administration. Researchers present a working paper or a recently published article, discussing the topic with participants: faculty members, PhD and MSc students.
They are mandatory for master's students in their first year of the program and for doctoral students in the first two years of their studies. They are also open to the external public. In this case, prior registration on the website is required, as there are limited spots available.
