The SLE Postgraduate Study Programme runs from January to December each year and consists of two main phases:
- The Plenary Phase (January to the end of May):
SLE participants attend technical and methodological courses to deepen their knowledge and broaden their skills. The plenary phase ends with the implementation of the "Development Policy Discussion Days" - a series of public panel discussions, organised and moderated by SLE participants and scholars from the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation. - Joint International Research Projects (JIRPs, June to December):
Participants work in groups on collaborative projects in Berlin and in a partner country. The JIRPs enable participants to apply the knowledge they have acquired and to develop concrete solutions to real-life challenges.
