Hosted and organized by the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, in collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Academic Studies and the Inter-University Centre in Dubrovnik, TED 2024 promises to be a landmark event in the realm of public administration.

Under the overarching theme of "Digital Governance in the Age of AI: Evolving Policies, Regulations, and Practices," TED 2024 will provide a unique platform for senior public administration experts, encompassing both academics and high-level practitioners, to engage in a comprehensive dialogue.
