CenSE to host the First Scottish Public Management Workshop

In the early 1990s. the Scottish Public Management Network coordinated workshops and seminars on public management research across Scotland. It ran workshops across Scotland that brought together researchers and practitioners on public management in a Scottish context. That disbanded in the mid-1990s.

CenSE is delighted to be coordinating a new network to support an annual day-conference on research about public services in Scotland. The initial workshop is being held in early June and will be coordinated by Stephen Osborne (Edinburgh), Michael Roy (Stirling), Kirsty Strokosch (Strathclyde) and Adina Dudau (Glasgow). It will feature papers from researchers across the four universities. If successful, the intention is to make this an annual event with a formal Call for Papers across all universities in Scotland.

The initial day-conference will include work on public service ecosystems and valuer creation, mass vaccination programmes, intelligent performance management systems, blended value in a public management context, and co-creation and democracy.
