IIAS Chairs Panel on Transformative Governance at Lien 2025 Conference

Diogo Pereira,

The International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) was proud to participate as a co-host of the Lien International Conference on Good Governance 2025, held on 21–22 July 2025 in Singapore. The conference gathered over 300 participants from around the world, including scholars, practitioners, and policy leaders, fostering a global exchange on resilient, inclusive, and future-ready governance.

A highlight of the event was the NCPA–IIAS Dialogue: Global Discourse on Transformative Governance, where Dr. Sofiane Sahraoui, IIAS Director General, chaired the panel, featuring distinguished experts including Mrs. Rosa Huey Daniel, Prof. Georgios Papakonstantinou, and Mr. Vassilis Exarchos.  

The event provided a platform to discuss topics such as digital governance, AI applications in policy, sustainable development, and financial resilience, reinforcing IIAS’s commitment to promoting knowledge exchange, international collaboration, and thought leadership in public administration.

IIAS looks forward to continuing its engagement with global partners and contributing to shaping the future of governance through dialogue, research, and practice. The Institute also thanks the Nanyang Centre for Public Administration (NCPA) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) for their continuous partnership.

The European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) invites scholars and practitioners to propose new initiatives for its 2027 Annual Conference, taking place at Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, from 24 to 27 August 2027. EGPA provides a European forum for public administration scholars and practitioners to present research, exchange perspectives and develop collaborations across public administration, public management and public policy. The call welcomes proposals for three formats: Permanent Study Groups (PSGs), Ad Hoc Groups (AHGs) and Specialised Panels (SPs). EGPA looks forward to welcoming new initiatives, perspectives and research communities that will enrich its 2027 Annual Conference and contribute to the development of public administration research across Europe and beyond.

The conference introduced a call for papers across fourteen thematic tracks and an interactive programme to help participants navigate its activities.

Professor Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar, Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Administrative Sciences (IRAS), is included in the latest Stanford–Elsevier database of the world’s top-cited scientists, recognising the sustained citation impact of his research in political science and public administration.
