The IASIA 2025 Conference will be held in Mexico City, Mexico from 13 to 17 October 2025. The Annual Conference of the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration will be organized in close collaboration with the National Institute of Public Administration (INAP) of Mexico.
The IASIA 2025 Conference plenary sessions and panels will be articulated around the focus theme: "Shaping the Future of Governance: Transforming Mindsets, Enhancing Skills, and Expanding Knowledge." The conference will bring together scholars, practitioners, and students from around the world. The program will include plenary sessions addressing key issues in contemporary public governance, thematic panels and forums, sessions led by IASIA’s Working Groups, and a dedicated PhD seminar.
Governance is essential for societal stability, economic development, and effective public administration. The 2025 IASIA Conference recognizes that in a rapidly changing and unpredictable world—marked by technological disruption, climate change, pandemics, and inequality—traditional governance models must evolve.
The conference calls for a transformation in mindsets, upskilling public servants, and expanding knowledge to address complex, modern challenges. It emphasizes ethical leadership, innovation, and inclusive governance models such as AI-assisted policymaking, participatory democracy, and digital transformation.
