Lifelong learning programs Courses About public policies

PPMA Project (Public policy making and analysis)

This site was created as part of the PPMA project. The project has developed educational programs in the field of public policies within the framework of lifelong learning at universities in Serbia in cooperation with European universities, which together form partners in the project. In addition to this goal, the mission of our team is to improve the practice of creating public policies based on facts and analysis by expanding and strengthening the network of people who deal with public policies from different angles. That’s why we created the Policy Club.
