Shape the Future of EGPA: Submit Your Candidacy for the Steering Committee

Diogo Pereira,

We are pleased to announce that candidacies are now open for the EGPA Steering Committee, including the position of President. As part of a vibrant and growing community of public administration scholars and practitioners, this is an opportunity to take an active role in steering EGPA’s future directions.

The EGPA 2025 Elections Committee, established by the IIAS Council of Administration, will oversee the selection process. All ten positions on the Steering Committee are open for election, with the new term beginning after the EGPA 2025 Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

If you are committed to advancing the mission of EGPA, we strongly encourage you to submit your application by August 18, 2025, to president@iias-iisa.org

Your candidacy will contribute to a transparent, inclusive, and dynamic selection process that reflects the strength and diversity of our network.

Important note:

  • All applications will be reviewed by the Elections Committee, and a list of candidates will be forwarded to the general assembly for voting on August 29, 2025.

  • Following the General Assembly, the newly elected Steering Committee members will elect the next EGPA President from among themselves.

Let’s work together to strengthen our community and its impact across Europe and beyond.

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.
