Summer school

Every summer, the Chair hosts an international summer school event on the subject of local democracy, decentralization and multilevel governance. It is attended by some fifty researchers, practitioners, elected officials and students, who come to learn about emerging issues and challenges in territorial governance in a context of multi-faceted change.

The summer school is a unique opportunity to bring together researchers, policymakers and administrators in multi-level public governance in an environment conducive to the exchange and development of ideas.

The event is co-hosted with a partner organization and held in that region to allow attendees to meet stakeholders and explore the issues and ideas driving current debates in the social sciences.

The last summer school to date, on ‘Distance and Proximity in Public Policy’, was organized in partnership with the Côtes d’Armor Departmental Council and held in Saint-Brieuc from September 21–23, 2022.
