 PMRC 2027

Corvinus University | June 2-5, 2027 | Budapest, Hungary

The Public Management Research Conference heads to Central and Eastern Europe in 2027. Corvinus University of Budapest will host PMRC 2027 on its historic Danube riverfront campus - the Customs Palace and the university's modern Building C, a few steps from the Liberty Bridge and the Great Market Hall.

Corvinus is Hungary's leading institution in public policy and management, home to the country's only EAPAA-accredited program in the field and a veteran host of international public management conferences, including IRSPM in 2017 and 2023. Its Department of Public Policy has been a hub for public management scholarship across the region since the early 1990s.

Budapest is easy to reach, easy to walk, and among the most affordable major cities in Europe. The program is anticipated to include a pre-conference day, doctoral workshops, and an evening on the Danube. The Call for Proposals and registration details will follow. Mark your calendar.
