Ford+Munk Conference
The Ford+Munk Conference is an annual student-led policy conference among students at The Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy (the Ford School), one of America’s premier public policy institutions. The event brings together students from both schools in a team-based learning environment where they are challenged to analyze, evaluate, and present key findings related to a current policy issue facing both sides of the border.
National Annual Public Administration Case Competition
The 2021 National Public Administration Case Competition was hosted by Carleton University and held virtually on February 10 & 20, 2021. The case centred around the impact of COVID-19 on long-term care in the country, and how provinces might take part in a national discussion about policy options. The scenario required students to brief their province’s senior officials who are representing the province on a national task force called by the federal government. This group needs to consider what conditions would have to be met for the province to take an active role in these national-level discussions, as well as proposing some potential policy solutions.
Global Public Policy Network (G.P.P.N.)
Global Public Policy Network (G.P.P.N.): The Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) Case Competition is an annual conference hosted at one of the eight most prestigious public policy schools in the world. Prior to the event, students will be tasked with preparing a policy solution to an emerging issue area which they will present in front of a community of other students and Deans from around the world. At the event, students get an opportunity to discuss their work, network with other students and Deans, and explore the host country.

Policy-at-Munk Fall Case Competition
The eighth annual Policy-at-Munk Fall Case Competition will take place in person at the Campbell Conference Centre on Devonshire Place on November 3, 2023, running from 9 am to 4 pm. The competition provides a unique opportunity to develop and hone analytical, presentation, and problem-solving skills in a team-based format. It is the first of several policy case competitions held over the school year.
The competition will follow the format of the National Public Administration Case Competition held annually in February, which brings together teams from Public Policy and Public Administration Schools across Canada. It allows students to test their skills and decide if they want to try out for our National Team in February.
Case Competition Info Night
There are several opportunities for you to compete against other schools and organizations in case competitions.
All MPP and MGA students are invited to a session hosted by Professors Lewis, Mason, and, Fagan, and student leaders from the Consulting Careers Initiative and the Ford+Munk Conference to learn more about these case competitions. Many courses require case preparation and presentation, and case competitions are a way to develop these in-demand professional skills further.
