From 26 to 27 October 2017, the IPA research unit met in Munich to jointly launch the second phase of the research programme. In addition to organizational and strategic issues, the main topics discussed were current publications and the agenda for phase II. Therefore, we debated present and on-going publications on the first day (paper slams) and addressed future research and research unit collaboration on the second day (strategy slam). Each project contributed to this with a short and intriguing presentation.
The number of participants in the workshop was also remarkable: 26 researchers speak for the growing interest in the more and more established research field of International Public Administrations.
