UKAPA colleagues and friends!
The Executive Committee of the United Kingdom Association for Public Administration (UKAPA) has agreed that its second annual conference will be hosted by Ulster University.
Convenors
Professors Paul Carmichael and Karl O’Connor will serve as co-convenors for the conference.
The main conference will be held at the Belfast campus and run from Thursday 11 to Friday 12 September, with the conference dinner arranged for the Thursday evening at our Academy Restaurant.
The Frank Stacey Memorial Lecture
UKAPA is delighted to announce that The Frank Stacey Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Professor Rod Rhodes (University of Southampton)
Doctoral conference
A linked doctoral conference will take place the day before on Wednesday 10 September.
Accommodation
A preliminary ‘hold’ has been placed on rooms at a nearby hotel with discounted rates though, as in Birmingham, participants will be expected to make their own arrangements for accommodation and travel.
Registration and participation
PRICE FREEZE – We have made a commitment to peg registration prices for the event at the 2024 rate, mindful of the pressures on budgets.
Participation can take the form of panel chair, paper giver, panel organiser as well as joining the audience for the various sessions throughout the event.
Please share this information widely within and across your relevant networks!
All questions, suggestions or other comments, should be directed to Professor Paul Carmichael in the first instance: p.carmichael@ulster.ac.uk
