The Center for Public Policy Research hosts an annual Research Symposium, a free event that brings together a diverse continuum of scholars, experts, and stakeholders to discuss the latest research and analysis on public policy challenges and identify institutional designs that serve our common interest.
The conference aims to provide a forum for scholars and experts to facilitate the exchange of views among researchers and policymakers on topics relevant to political economy, including healthcare, housing, education, and regulation.
All Tulane students, researchers, and community members interested in exploring the relationship between public policy and its impact on the economy are invited to attend the symposium.
The two-day event is devoted to:
- showcasing the latest research and analysis on public policy issues
- promoting collaboration among scholars, stakeholders, and policymakers
- exploring innovative solutions to public policy challenges
- providing shared learning opportunities for the Tulane community and the public
