Welcome to WIPCAD
The Research Training Group on “Wicked Problems, Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy” (WIPCAD) was founded in October 2012 at the Department of Economics and Social Sciences of the University of Potsdam.
Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and co-financed by the DAAD, the program offers outstanding interdisciplinary training and research opportunities to graduates of political and administrative sciences, sociology and public management.
WIPCAD combines an innovative research focus with excellence in policy and administrative analysis, strengthening the Department’s role as a leading German center for the training of administrative scientists.
