LIST OF CO-CHAIRS AND CONVENERS
The Faculty of Law is the oldest and largest law faculty in Croatia and one of the oldest law faculties in South-Eastern Europe. Established in 1776, when the Politico-Cameral Study, which was founded as an autonomous institution in 1769, merged with the Faculty of Law, it has had a long tradition of research, teaching and studying of public administration.
Today, the Study Centre for Public Administration and Public Finances is one of the three organizational units of the Faculty of Law. The Faculty regularly co-operates with the State School for Public Administration – the main governmental institution for civil servants’ in-service training, the Judicial Academy – the national institution for training judges, and many other high education and in-service training institutions in Croatia and abroad.
Since 1882, the headquarters of the Faculty of Law has been in a listed building in No. 14 Square of the Republic of Croatia, in the heart of the city. The headquarters building is undergoing reconstruction after two earthquakes that hit Zagreb and surrounding areas in March and December 2020. That is why the venue of the EGPA 2023 annual conference will be at the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of the University of Zagreb.
The Faculty of Law’s library is the oldest and largest Croatian legal library, and the third largest library in Croatia, with about 515,000 books and scientific journals from all over the world, and digital access to many domestic and international publishers and legal databases. About 6,000 students are enrolled in one of 20 study programmes. The Faculty of Law in Zagreb offers some 80 courses in English for Erasmus+ students, students of the European University of Post-Industrial Cities (UNIC, https://www.unic.eu/en), and other foreign students. The Faculty is active in providing life-long learning courses.
The Faculty of Law coordinates the UNIC-related activities for all constituent parts of the University of Zagreb (http://www.unizg.hr/homepage/about-university/constituent-units/). International cooperation of the Faculty is abundant. Apart from over 130 Erasmus+ agreements, the Faculty has signed many other cooperation agreements with foreign universities and faculties. The Friends of the Faculty gathers about 30 renowned professors from all over the world and functions as a core group connecting numerous colleagues from Europe and beyond. The Faculty organises international, multilateral, bilateral and domestic scientific conferences.
The Legal Clinic, the Laboratory of Governance Innovations, the Administrative Compass, and many other institutional arrangements supporting practical learning in the fields of law, public administration, public finances, and social work and social policy make an important part of the Faculty’s activities. The Faculty publishes monographs, edited volumes, handbooks and other publications in fields of law, public administration, and social work and social policy. Its Publishing Department supports the publication process of seven international, well-indexed and well-recognized scientific journals with international editorial boards, international co-editors, and a large pool of international reviewers in all the fields of its expertise, from law to public administration, to social work and social policy.

Dear colleagues, delegates, and participants,
Chères et chers collègues, délégués et participants,
Welcome to the 45th EGPA Annual Conference – Zagreb 2023!
Nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue au 45e congrès annuel du GEAP - Zagreb 2023 !
The European Group for Public Administration/IIAS team, in cooperation with our sister organization in the region, NISPAcee, and close partnership with our colleagues of the University of Zagreb, under the leadership of Prof. Ivan Koprić, Dean of the Faculty of Law, we are very pleased to welcome you all in the vivid capital city of Croatia, in the premises of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology of the University of Zagreb, with its modern buildings and natural setting scene.
After the great success of our EGPA 2022 Conference in Lisbon, whose 521 delegates from 46 countries – figures showing the vitality of our EGPA family – addressed the various challenges of the Role of Public Administration for the Sustainable Future of our Societies, our European Public Administration community will have the pleasure, in Zagreb, to explore a new topic: “Steering European Union through poly-crises storms.” Since the beginning of the century, the EU and its Member-States have gone through turbulent times. Still, in the latest three years, we were shocked by a burst of sanitary, economic, and geopolitical crises, which we faced with courage, agility, and resilience. However, such crises are challenging our governments and the institutional capacities of our public apparatuses. Therefore, it makes lots of sense for PA scholars to question the adaptation of the legal framework, the resistance to the rule of law, the evolution of major institutional arrangements, the capacity to upskill public servants at all levels of governance, to administer or manage crises, and to look forward to adaptative strategies and policies in this context. We will also examine how the European Union PAG (Public Administration and Governance) is coping with the necessity to adapt accordingly its own structures, institutions, and policies, as well as to support its Member-States in identifying common challenges for public administration and developing innovative approaches to address them.
Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, is certainly a pertinent place to consider together the trajectories and steps of administrative reforms that are needed by the Member-States to guarantee the full enforcement of the EU legal “Acquis” and to ensure the best, modernized public service delivery to our citizens, economies, and civil societies. Croatia celebrates, in 2023, the ten years of its Accession to the EU: Croatian officials and distinguished colleagues will be proud to share with all their experiences in that regard and to welcome us in a country with many best practices in the domains of anticipating crises and reforming its public sector.
In Zagreb, our 23 vivid EGPA Permanent Study Groups and our dynamic French Speaking Seminar will address the numerous challenges facing the EU in times of ‘polycrises’ storms, from first-line services to police and justice management, from HRM policies to Public Sector Organisations’ adaptation and changes, from the role of technical assistance and expertise to the management of administrative innovations, etc.
I am confident that the fellow members of our EGPA and NISPAcee family, including the new generation of young talents among PhD students, will respond to our Calls with great enthusiasm! Our EGPA Conference in Zagreb shall be a great moment of fruitful scientific activity and fraternal togetherness between Western, Central, and Eastern European researchers, “pracademics” and practitioners who wish to contribute to the advancement of Public Administration as a web of sister disciplines, and as an art of administering complex policy issues, in times of polycrises, at the service of the Public Interest, the Rule-of-Law, and our democratic regimes.
Welcome to all in Zagreb!
Bienvenue à toutes et tous à Zagreb !
Jean-Michel Eymeri-Douzans
EGPA President/Président du GEAP

Dear colleagues and friends,
It is a great honour and pleasure to welcome the EGPA 2023 conference “Steering the European Union through poly-crises storms: The Role of Public Administration”, to be held at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Law from 5th to 8th September 2023 in Zagreb, Croatia.
The Faculty of Law in Zagreb was established in 1776 by Empress Maria Theresia, as a faculty of the then newly established Royal Academy of Science in Zagreb, along with two other faculties (Philosophy and Theology). The Political-Cameral Study, established even earlier, in 1769, was merged with the Faculty of Law in 1776. In the same year, the very first professor of that Study, also serving as the then secretary of the Croatian Vice-Royal Supreme Court, with a doctoral degree from the Vienna Faculty of Law, Adam Adalbert Barić, who taught cameral and economic sciences at the Faculty of Law, was appointed as one of only four initially tenured professors. Since then, the Faculty of Law in Zagreb is the focal point for researching and teaching public administration, administrative law and other related public governance disciplines in Croatia.
Today, the Faculty of Law is one of 34 faculties and academia of the University of Zagreb. The University of Zagreb is the oldest and largest public university in Croatia, whose origins can be traced back to 1669, when the Jesuit Academy of the Royal Free City of Zagreb was established by Emperor and King Leopold I Habsburg. Around 6000 students, including those at the Erasmus+ mobility, study at the Faculty of Law. There are around 175 professors and researchers at the Faculty. The Faculty’s Library is one of the oldest and largest law libraries in Central and South Eastern Europe.
The Faculty has signed more than 600 contracts on cooperation with many courts, state bodies, public agencies, law firms, and many other institutions in Croatia, ensuring cooperation with experts and bringing their expert knowledge to the Faculty. Our students can spend several weeks working for them in order to familiarize with their future law, public governance, and social work professions.
The Faculty is known for its international cooperation, abundant research, and good quality of study. The candidates can acquire their PhD degrees from law (including public governance), and social work. Teaching, research and other activities are organized within three main organizational units dealing with law, social work and social policy, and public administration and public finances. The Study Centre for Public Administration and Public Finances, the Institute of Public Law and Public Administration, the departments of Administrative Science, Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, European Public Law, and many other Faculty units deal with public governance and related themes and issues, contributing significantly to internationally well-recognized role of the Faculty of Law.
Through cooperation with other faculties of the University of Zagreb, especially with the Faculty of Political Science, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Organization and Informatics, Faculty of Humanities and Arts, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and many others, the Faculty of Law builds the Public Administration research and policy network. Moreover, it firmly cooperates with other Croatian law faculties that are high education institutions of the universities in Split, Rijeka, and Osijek, and with many faculties not only within the European Union, but also in South Eastern Europe.
The Faculty is a member of the EGPA, NISPAcee, IPSA, and other international associations in the fields of public governance, law, social work, social policy, and public finances. Besides public governance, organizational, financial, managerial, and other approaches in researching public administration, legal approach has been especially cultivated at the Faculty.
We welcome all the EGPA 2023 conference participants to Zagreb and Croatia!

Dean of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Law

In the context of unprecedented global challenges for Public Administration as multiple crises, extreme climate events, and post-pandemic recovery, we, as academics and practitioners, should maintain and reinforce our efforts for building better futures of governance and solid public administration. We have to consider the crucial role of public administration in navigating through uncertainties—learning lessons from crises and sharing expertise for managing our societies in turbulent times.
The EGPA 2023 Conference provides us the opportunity to discuss and share our experiences in steering our societies through multiple crises and to reinforce the role of public administration for a better future.
We must be ‘agile’ to provide solutions for the future and develop new thinking, new mindsets, new policies, new models, and methodologies. The role of Public Administration and strong institutions is crucial in this context.
We must think about the various ways to reflect and improve the preparedness of our governmental and administrative institutions to respond to crises and to develop their agility to handle different types of concerns. We have also to think about the importance of the role of civil servants and front-line personnel and how to prepare them, to develop adaptive skills and competencies. to manage uncertainties and ensure the continuity of the services.
EGPA Conference gives the participants the opportunity to listen, learn, study, adapt, and discuss the steps forward to the achievement of global sustainable development.
