The conference provides opportunities for paper presentations within themes that will enable a dialogue between researchers from different policy contexts. Furthermore, the conference will include keynote presentations from Professor Mirko Noordegraaf, Utrecht University, the Netherlands, on “Changing forms of professionalism in public service delivery”, and Associate Professor Anat Gofen, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, on “Frontline organizations as experimental settings for policy change” as well as a panel discussion with prominent scholars in the field.

Furthermore, we offer the opportunity to propose special sessions. Proposals for special sessions need to be submitted before the 15th of December 2023.
