Research

This Master’s specialisation is closely connected to the Institute for Management Research (IMR), the research institute of the Nijmegen School of Management. IMR conducts state-of-the-art research into complex governance and management issues, seeking not only to understand the underlying causes of these problems but also to develop innovative solutions.

Each Hot Spot tackles urgent governance and management challenges, blending scientific excellence with societal relevance, offering students a unique hands-on research experience.

Research projects

When you do your Master's thesis, you can contribute to one of our ongoing research projects. Get in touch with the project leader of the project you're interested in. See some of our projects below.

Annual Conference 2025 Gender Knowledge

NATO and Gender Knowledge Production

The project explores how NATO uses and produces gender knowledge in its implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. I explore how new, feminist-informed gender knowledge can emerge and take hold amidst rising global anti-gender campaigns.
