ENPA Research Groups (RGs) study a diverse range of topics in public administration, public policy and public management research. In line with the overall mission of ENPA, we provide a platform for existing research communities to engage with ENPA, and for new research communities to be established. ENPA can provide logistical support including website and conference organisation. RGs will meet at the ENPA annual conference, where there will be panels, workshops and other events for their members. Also, throughout the year, RGs can organize any activities they consider relevant to achieve the goal of building vibrant research communities.

ENPA will also host a series of innovative Thematic Panels at its Annual Conference. Details of the 11 Thematic Panels accepted for the 2026 conference in Bucharest can be found here.
