Welcome Message
Greetings from Seoul!
We are truly honored and delighted to host the Public Management Research Conference 2025 at the Gwanak Campus of Seoul National University (SNU). The Graduate School of Public Administration (GSPA) at SNU is thrilled to provide this vibrant and dynamic forum for academic discourse on public management. We extend our warmest welcome to all participants and look forward to engaging in enriching discussions that will spark fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.
As the world grapples with democratic challenges of unprecedented complexity, the role of the public sector has never been more crucial. It stands at the forefront of efforts to address the rising polarization affecting political, economic, social, and cultural spheres across the globe. In this ever-changing landscape, the significance of effective public management cannot be overstated. We are excited to hear your valuable presentations, engage in thoughtful discussions, and explore your contributions, which we are confident, will make this conference an unforgettable experience.
We also hope your time in Seoul will offer you a deeper appreciation of Korea's dynamic character—a place where ancient traditions seamlessly blend with modern innovation. As we gather in this vibrant city, we aim to create a unique convergence of East and West, offering not only a platform for scholarly exchange but also an opportunity for cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.
We eagerly anticipate your participation and the inspiring exchanges that lie ahead.
Professor, Seoul National University
