In Memoriam of Michalis Christakis

Diogo Pereira,

It is with sadness that we learned about the sudden passing away of Michalis Christakis during the summer.

Michalis was a practitioner: General Secretary of the Philothei Municipality in Greece, and President of the Kleisthenis association of Greek municipalities. He used to chair tracks in the IIAS Conferences on topics related to local governance, including training, strategic management and technologies.

We will remember his generosity and communicative enthusiasm and will miss him immensely in New Delhi. All our thoughts go to his family.

On behalf of the International Commission on Accreditation of Public Administration Education and Training Programs (ICAPA), we are delighted to congratulate Ghent University (Belgium) and Hamad Bin Khalifa University – College of Public Policy (Qatar) on the successful accreditation and reaccreditation of their respective programs. These achievements reflect the institutions’ outstanding commitment to excellence in public administration education and to advancing the global standards of our profession.
