Description
The conference shall serve as an exchange platform, which for the first time shall bring together some 60 participants from the region and beyond, actors from public administration, politics and academia concerned with the issues of good governance in the Western Balkans. Given the EU-accession of Croatia in July 2013, Zagreb as a symbolic venue where also lessons learned and regional perspectives can be shared seems to be most convenient.
Objectives
The main objectives of the conference are:
- Gaining an overview of the most important good governance research and policy projects in the region (peer exchange);
- Discussing the “good” and the “bad “of good governance concepts, including indicators, standards, practices and regional variances;
- Bringing together researchers and policy-makers to discuss how to build bridges between research and policy-making and how future
agendas in this field could look like.
Eligibility
The call for contributions is open to Individual researchers, public administration officials, research institutions, think-tanks, independent policy-making institutes and other institutions dealing with the conference topics.
Costs
The conference will take place at the Hotel International, Zagreb. The organizers will cover travel and accommodation expenses for all selected participants.
