IIAS Governance Week 2026 to Focus on Governance, Dialogue, and Leadership Selection

Diogo Pereira,

The International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) will hold its Governance Week from June 10 to 12, 2026, at its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, bringing together its leadership and institutional bodies for three days of strategic discussions and decision-making.

As a key moment in the IIAS calendar, the Governance Week will feature statutory meetings of the Institute and some of its entities, providing a structured platform to address core governance matters and reflect on the organization’s future direction. The program will also include special panels with IIAS Member States, fostering dialogue and the exchange of perspectives on shared priorities in public governance.

A central highlight of the 2026 edition will be the selection of the new Director General, marking a significant step in shaping the Institute’s leadership for the years ahead.

The International Institute of Administrative Sciences calls for proposals for its 2026 Conference, to be held in Seoul (South Korea) on November 17-20 on the theme of "Growth for Society: Collaborative governance, social innovation, and Public Value". Additional calls can be submitted to iias-conference@iias-iisa.org by May 24. 

The International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) and the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) took a step forward in aligning scientific activities across IIAS and its entities through a recent meeting involving Liezel Lues, President of IASIA, Tim Mau (University of Guelph), and Marco De la Cruz, Scientific Director of IIAS.

The European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) has received nearly 900 submissions for its 2026 Annual Conference, to be held at Sapienza Università di Roma in Rome from August 24 to 27, 2026.
