Focus: European Cultural Policy
The European Studies Center invites you to an open series with hybrid and asynchronous forms. The series takes participants from a shared research foundation in European policy to a finished policy brief published in the Interdisciplinary Review of ValEUs (IRV).
The series teaches the craft of writing for impact and how to transform complex political, economic, and cultural questions into clear, concise, and persuasive policy briefs that reach governmental, non-governmental, and international audiences.
Participants will learn to: 

• Identify and define a policy problem with precision 
• Conduct concise, evidence-based analysis grounded in real research 
• Communicate complex issues in accessible, policy-oriented formats 
• Develop practical, actionable recommendations for decision-makers.

Who Should Participate:

• Faculty and researchers seeking to broaden their academic work
• Humanities Scholars
• Graduate and undergraduate students
• Educators (Continuing-Education Certificate)
• Professionals interested in public policy, international affairs, transatlantic relations/European Studies.

No prior policy-writing experience is required.   Registration is required. (https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bsdy3dWkOOaMoES)
