About the IIAS Annual Conference

The IIAS Annual Conference is the flagship event of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS), held annually in different regions across the globe. This week-long event is structured into three key components: the Pre-Congress Workshops and the Council of Administration meeting, where IIAS members and partners discuss their agendas with attendees; the Congress itself, featuring plenary and parallel sessions on crucial public administration topics; and a social program, offering opportunities for networking and cultural engagement. 

The IIAS-DARPG India Conference 2025 promises to continue this tradition of excellence, bringing together global leaders and experts in public governance.
