Conference: "Institutional challenges for Catalan public administrations"

The conference, organized by the Catalan Association of Public Management, the ServidorsCAT Association, the Association of Archivists-Document Managers of Catalonia and Document Managers and the Maspons i Anglasell Collective, we want to promote reflection and debate on the best way to face and overcome the challenges posed today by the Catalan public administrations. Among the most relevant issues addressed are digital challenges, open government and public management and ethics.

The Conference has been organized into working tables, which will be attended by academic, professional and public officials from the Administration of the Generalitat and also from the local governments of Catalonia. The contributions of all the participants will be collected in the presentation of the conclusions of the various tables, with the intention that they will serve as a guide and, if necessary, a stimulus to promote the initiatives needed to strengthen our institutions. The Conference is also the first fruit of the collaboration between various associations-based entities created with diverse objectives, but also with the shared aim of having a solid and prepared Administration, typical of an advanced democratic society.

The closing of the day will be in charge of jordi puigneró, Honorable Counselor for Digital Policies and Public Administration.
