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.

The International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) is pleased to announce that Kimberley Atheba will be joining the Secretariat as Assistant Programme Manager, effective July 1st, 2025.

The International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) informs all interested participants that the extended deadline for submitting abstracts or panel proposals is rapidly approaching. Submissions for the IASIA 2025 Conference will be accepted only until June 30, 2025.
