The main mission of the Institute of Public Policy (IPP) is to provide multidisciplinary education in public policy that meets international standards. The study of public policy combines and offers the latest knowledge in the field of public administration, political science, law, sociology, economics, management, methodology and building analytical skills. We believe that also students in Slovakia can receive high quality education.Our institute provides students not only with good explanation of theoretical approaches, but also helps them to develop critical and analytical thinking. We emphasise an approach based on data, information and evidence (evidence based policy research) and skills based on problem solving through case studies and practical examples. The flexibility and interactivity of study is important for us and therefore we intensively use e-learning and other modern teaching methods.Except for teaching, we engage in research and prepare analytical materials for municipalities, the state administration, NGOs and supranational institutions. This activity is realised in cooperation with other domestic and foreign research institutions. We are also trying to link our educational and research activities with the practice. This approach enriches the knowledge of our students and helps transfer the latest scientific knowledge into practice. We are an institution built on a team of experts.We cooperate with many scientific, academic, research institutes and NGOs in Slovakia and abroad - CEEV Živica, Nispa, Civita center, several Slovak cities (Prievidza, Bratislava - Karlova Ves, etc.), Supreme Audit Office of Slovak Republic, we are part of COST, The Civil Service Council of Slovak Republic, SGI (and Demagog.SK), CEPS.
