Since 2012, four consecutive annual conferences have been held; these being, “Economic Crisis-The Role of the State” in 2013, “Big Government to Smart Government” in 2014, “The Future of Public Service Employment and Human Resource Development of the Government” in 2015, and “The Modern Trends of Public Administration” in 2016. This year the conference will be held for the sixth time and will address the topic of “Sustainable Development in Public Administration”.
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jan Ziekow, Director of the German Research Institute for Public Administration, Speyer, Germany, will attend the conference. Other invited participants include: Dr. Samdan Tsedendamba, Civil Service Council of Mongolia; Dr. Dr. h.c.

In addition, there are to be two plenary discussions on Sustainable Development in Public Administration that will be distinguished in two work streams under the topics of “Can the public sector lead towards sustainability”, and “Sustainability Performance of the Public Sector-Developing a coherent system for implementation”.
We hope that the NUM Leadership Conference will be an interesting platform for topics of public administration and capacity development as well as serve to enable a stimulating exchange among conference participants and our invited speakers.
