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.
