Session 4:  Open platform: Research projects proposals

 

Chair: Philip LANGBROEK

 

The Study Group X of EGPA is an open space dedicated to researches at the crossroad between law and administration. One of its purposes is to bring together scholars interested in the same topics. Some research projects are already running between the participants. Some others are under elaboration.

This is a reason why a session dedicated to research project presentations has been scheduled during our meeting.

Feel free use this time to present your ongoing or would be projects, get feedbacks and enroll people!
