Call for Papers
Improving Performance of Public Administration: Current Experiences and Future Perspectives
Research and Practitioners' Conference
9-10 September 2015
Belgrade, Serbia

Interested researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for presentation at the conference. The Conference is organised by the Think for Europe Network (comprising the European Policy Centre, Belgrade, European Policy Institute, Skopje and Institute Alternative, Podgorica).

Conference Themes
The conference addresses the experiences and future perspectives in improving performance in the public administration in the European context. Suggested guiding topics for papers include:
- Evidence-Based Policy Making as a Precondition for Performance of PA
Using evidence in policy formulation, policy monitoring and evaluation, result based approaches in policy making, evaluation as a tool for organisational learning, etc.
- Public Administration, Performance and Accountability
Performance measurement and budgeting, linking performance with accountability, managerial accountability, ’Europeanisation’ of public administration in the context of PA performance, etc.
- Performance Audit and Policy Evaluation
Effectiveness of government spending and/or policies, impact of performance audit on policy cycle, correlations/links between performance audit and policy evaluation, etc.

We especially welcome submissions dealing with processes of performance audit and policy evaluation as important pillars of public administration and policy making reform in the context of the EU integration.
The conference will include practical, empirical as well as theoretical approaches to these topics in order to bridge policy and academia worlds and incite peer learning. While we are foremost interested in contributions in relation to the Western Balkans, we encourage submissions dealing with the EU member states as well.

Eligible Candidates
- Researchers working on performance in the public administration, including various aspects of the policy cycle
- Practitioners dealing with policy making and evaluation, as well as performance audit in the European context
- Scholars and PhD candidates active in the fields of public administration, public management and related fields
The selected candidates will be able to share and discuss their work in practitioner/researcher panels.

The Conference is being organised within the project Performance Audit and Policy Evaluation: On the Same or Parallel Tracks supported by the Regional Research Promotion Programme in the Western Balkans (RRPP).
