About the Public Administration and Policy Group

The Public Administration and Policy group is an enthusiastic and ambitious group within the Department of Social Sciences. Our team is characterized by an open and inclusive atmosphere, and we are welcoming to new collaborations and partnerships, with governments or private parties, with colleagues from all over the globe, and with students who seek to improve their understandings of public administration and policy.

Societal impact 

We intensively engage stakeholders in our research in various ways, varying from collaborative action research to multi-stakeholder workshops and consultancy. This has resulted in leading positions in large-scale action research programs with intensive collaboration with various societal stakeholders: Horizon Europe project on transforming food systems and food environments towards healthy and sustainable dietary behaviour (PLAN’EAT). Through long-term relationships with stakeholders, we go beyond written recommendations and make a difference in policy practices.
