About the Conference

Bridging Governance, Education & Digital Transformation

The International Conference on Public Administration and Education in the Era of Digital Governance brings together scholars, policymakers, educators, and practitioners from around the world to explore how digital transformation is reshaping the foundations of governance and learning in the 21st century.

As governments, universities, and civil society increasingly rely on digital tools for transparency, service delivery, and participation, understanding the intersection between public administration and education has become more crucial than ever.

The conference provides an intellectual platform to examine this transformation — from e-government and smart public service models to the ethics of artificial intelligence, open data, and digital inclusion.
