The INOGOV Policy Brief series provides an outlet for the publication of policy-relevant, concise and topical papers. We strongly encourage linking policy briefs to current INOGOV research endeavours; including workshops, visiting fellowships (short-term scientific missions) and peer-review articles.
Topics that address and reflect on current research and/or publications, ideally focusing on concrete public policy challenges or opportunities are also encouraged. Policy briefs generally contain recommendations on how the identified challenge could be addressed or the opportunity seized, based on thorough research and reflection. Topics addressed in the INOGOV policy briefs should be tailored to the overall aims and objectives of INOGOV, detailed here.
