BRINGING THE ACADEMY CLOSER TO THE REAL WORLD

At IDP, a fundamental part of our teaching philosophy is that learning occurs through discussions of real problems.

To this end, we held several events and seminars at IDP, bringing together academics and managers in the debate about the most different aspects of contemporary public management.

Check out some events organized by IDP's Master's Program in Economics, Public Policy and Development below.

This is a discussion forum that brings together big names in academia and Public Administration and the Brazilian Economy with the aim of discussing the most emerging, current and challenging themes in the management of the Brazilian State.

Furthermore, the Seminar has Working Groups that receive articles from postgraduate students, academics and professionals linked to Public Administration and Economics.
