Governance in Theory and Practice
United Nations University, Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) Are you too busy to be a full-time student for 10 weeks while looking, at the same time, to increase your understanding of the theory and the practice of governance? If yes, we have the solution. Enrol in our governance online course and you will have a quick, yet a rigorous access to the foundations of the governance realm.

Governance is a complex concept which is often used but not always correctly understood. It is an elusive notion, defined and measured in various ways. Sometimes, the idea of governance is differently placed in practice or wrongly conceptualised theoretically. This course will guide participants through key theoretical debates surrounding the concept of governance while at the same time presenting a range of empirical examples to illustrate how governance works in practice. The framework of the course will comprise and tackle the following facets of governance: governance as an analytical term, governance and public administration, governance and globalisation, governance as decision-making, (good) governance and international organisations. The target group of this course is oriented but not limited to students, policy practitioners, NGOs staff, civil and international servants.

The course is structured in 5 learning modules stretched across 10 weeks. The learning process will feature a series of online lectures, tutorial supervision, online movie screenings, and assignments. The design of the course is structured as such as to allow mobility in the work and schedule for every participant. In parallel or upon the completion of this course, participants have the option to follow a complementary online course, namely “Introduction to Political Science”.

Community of Learning for Africa (CoLA)
United Nations University, Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) CoLA is designed to increase access to knowledge and resources for PhD students working on their dissertations through African universities. CoLA is an online learning network developed by UNU-MERIT / MGSoG (UM) which aims to offer support for PhD fellows in Africa to conduct research and write high quality academic papers. This support is facilitated by offering content courses around the research themes of UNU-MERIT. In addition, the community offers a repository of useful open educational resources, and the option to obtain research feedback and platforms for discussion with other researchers.

Target group
The main aim of COLA is to build research capacity in Africa by assisting African PhD fellows locally, instead of educating a selected group of students in The Netherlands. We aim to connect to PhD fellows that are currently working on their PhD research on topics that fall within our institutional interest, and their local supervisors affiliated with universities in Africa. All participants on the platform (African PhD fellows and their supervisors) remain affiliated at their home universities, obtain their degrees from their own institution, and participate from abroad. Our platform aims to offer an additional service to both PhD student and supervisor, in the form of content training, access to resources and feedback.

The Platform
CoLA offers online training modules and online research support through our Moodle-based learning platform. The platform includes three pillars of services:
- Pillar one: Courses offering: Stand Alone and Tutored
- Pillar two: Repository of open Educational Resources
- Pillar three: Online community, with option to discuss, obtain feedback and offer support to other participants.
