CenSE is delighted to have been chosen to host the 2018 annual conference of IRSPM in April 2018.

The conference, estimated to bring in around three-quarters of a million pounds to the Scottish economy will have the theme ‘value co-creation and public service delivery’.

“This is a great honour”, said Stephen Osborne, Director of CenSE. “IRPSM is the largest global gathering of public management researchers and a major institution of our field. We plan to make this a true celebration of what Scotland can offer to our research community.”

The conference will feature a wide range of panels focusing on the current state of public management theory and practice, as well as keynote speeches from Professor Christian Grönroos (one of the leading theoreticians in the world on service management) and Sarah Drummond (founder and chief executive of the influential service design consultancy Snook).
