Conference Host

The Center for Policy Design and Governance

The Center for Policy Design and Governance is the host of the 2024 Conference on Policy Process Research. Part of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the Center for Policy Design and Governance fosters integration in policy, political and computational sciences in research and instruction to help scientists, practitioners and public service leaders understand and address existing and evolving governance challenges.

The Center is home to the Policy Design Studio and supports multiple international research initiatives, including the Computational Institutional Science Lab, and the Institutional Grammar Research Initiative. The Policy Design Studio provides hands-on training and evidence-based analysis on policy design, the engagement of government and non-government stakeholders in policy formulation, and policy implementation. The Computational Institutional Science Lab is an international hub for developing and applying computational methods to study how societies are governed. The Institutional Grammar Research Initiative convenes scholars from around the world who study and practice institutional analysis. The Center is also the institutional host to the Policy Studies Journal.
