Objectives of the conference
The main objective of the V International Academic Conference of the Institute of Public Affairs of the Jagiellonian University is an attempt at a summary of the academic reflection on the pro-development activity of the public sector organizations and NGOs. At the same time, we assume that socioeconomic development, and particularly territorial development, should be approached in the broadest manner possible, and that it refers both to environmental/spatial questions, the changes in the human and social resources, the growth and qualitative changes in the economy, and finally - the evolution of management systems in the public sphere. We would like, as in previous conferences, to facilitate the integration of the academic community investigating the social, economic, and spatial aspects of the management of territorial units.
The specific objectives of the conference:
1. Determining the state of research in Poland and worldwide, with particular emphasis on the existing achievements, and discussing the developmental processes upon which the public authorities have a real influence.
2. Presenting the cultural, social and institutional conditions determining the effectiveness of pro-development activities of the public and civic sectors.
3. Attempt at determination of the effectiveness of regional development support tools from the European funds.
4. Discussion on the use of development instruments to improve the quality of public policies and projects in territorial units, in particular with regard to trade policies: education, revitalization, cultural dissemination, mobilization of the labour market, and others.
Due to a wide range of topics and a multidisciplinary character of the conference, we would like to extend our invitation to the entire academic community, as well as to representatives of the practice of management, who - in the cognitive sense and in their ongoing activities - deal with various aspects of development processes activation and animation, and development management in territorial units.
