What the program looks like

  • The Technology and Public Policy (TPP) programme targets professionals from both the private and public sector who want to develop the public policy analysis skills they need to effectively address societal challenges in their current or future careers. 
  • The programme is structured modularly so as to best suit the backgrounds, interests, aims and needs of the participants.
  • Participants will learn how to systematically and effectively analyse how public institutions function, how policy choices are made, how to manage policy-​making processes and communicate effectively with policy-​makers, stakeholders, and the public
  • Graduates of the TPP programme will belong to a new generation of policy analysts and decision-makers who are literate in both science and technology as well as public policy analysis. With the acquired knowledge and skills, they will be well prepared to shape public policies addressing today's grand societal challenges in areas such as, for example, climate change, sustainable use of natural resources, urban development, sustainable mobility, the energy transition, ageing societies, public health, and the digital transformation.
