PAC Conference 2010 - Public Administration in an Era of Austerity.

Location: Nottingham Conference Centre, Burton Street, Nottingham NG1 4BU

Event date: 6 - 8 September

Organised by: Nottingham Business School

During a time of acute financial constraints in the public sector, the key subthemes of this conference will include the new political landscape, efficiency, innovation and service improvement.

As in previous years the 2010 PAC conference will bring together academics and practitioners from a broad range of disciplines including public policy, public administration, public management, social policy, and politics to explore theoretical, empirical and practical questions about the changing nature of public services.

The conference will include a half day practitioners' forum on 7 September on ‘Developing Effective Policy in an Era of Austerity' run by the Public Management and Policy Association and the National School of Government. The forum aims to bring together civil servants, managers delivering public services and independent experts to develop a wider view of the issues and identify solutions and successful ways forward.
