The Capstone is defined as a client-oriented group research project, based on original field research which generates a deliverable product. This product is graded according to norms of academic quality.

During the second semester of the GLM programme, students are required to work in small groups, advised by a specialist, in order to conduct a high quality research project on a given urban policy question for a public or private organization.
