Societal problems, as well as policy trials to solve them, are proving to be of an increasingly complex and despicable nature. This has brought about an even higher demand for evidence in the wider environment in which those problems arise and the right answers on how to solve them must be found. Students, scholars and practitioners from the field of public policy and public administration met in Prague on May 24-26, 2019 to share theoretical perspectives, empirical findings and practical experiences in order to enhance the common competence of how to think and what to do in such a demanding context.

 

Participation in the 27th NISPAcee Annual Conference, entitled "From Policy Design to Policy Practice”, provided a forum to nurture such a discourse, which was open to interested participants from all over the world.

 

275 participants from 43 countries participated in the 27thNISPAcee Annual Conference: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Republic of Korea, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States and Uzbekistan.
