The European Group for Public Administration (EGPA) is pleased to invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to participate in the EGPA 2026 Conference, which will take place 24–27 August 2026 in Rome, Italy.

Organised in partnership with the Sapienza University of Rome, the EGPA 2026 conference will feature 27 calls for papers across our PhD Symposium, new Permanent Study Groups, Ad Hoc Groups, Spcialized Panels and the Transatlantic Dialogue.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their research, engage in thematic discussions, and connect with an international network of academics and professionals working at the forefront of public administration research and practice.

Submission Deadline: 6 April 2026

Support for Research and Early-Career Researchers

To encourage broad participation, EGPA provides Travel Grants and Booster Grants. These initiatives aim to support early-career researchers in attending the conference and to foster the development of new research groups and collaborative initiatives within the EGPA community.

Further information about the call for abstracts, conference tracks, and related activities can be found on the EGPA 2026 Conference page (link below).

We look forward to welcoming you to Rome for another engaging edition of the EGPA Conference.
