Training the next generation of governance researchers
UGoveRN places significant emphasis on supporting, training, and enriching the work of early career researchers, primarily focusing on those pursuing PhDs and postdoctoral research.
The field of innovative governance research lacks robust support mechanisms, and UGoveRN addresses this gap. We organize regular training sessions, covering topics such as publishing strategies and effective communication of research to policymakers. Additionally, we offer on-demand support tailored to the specific needs of our early career members.
Networking plays a crucial role as another pillar of UGoveRN’s approach, recognizing its importance in helping early career researchers find their place within the academic community. This involves fostering meaningful relationships and facilitating collaboration on joint projects (including funding applications) with more experienced governance researchers from various universities and regions worldwide.
Moreover, UGoveRN regularly hosts research interns.
