The Public Administration Symposium (KAYSEM) is a national academic event that focuses primarily on local and regional issues, practices, and policy experiences in the field of public administration.
KAYSEM aims to examine administrative, political, economic, and social challenges faced by public administration at local and regional levels from a multidimensional perspective, and to encourage scholarly knowledge production on local governance, regional development policies, and decentralization practices.
By bringing together academics, researchers, and practitioners from different universities, the symposium seeks to facilitate the exchange and discussion of experiences related to public administration practices at the local and regional scales. In this respect, KAYSEM provides an application-oriented and academically grounded forum that is sensitive to regional contexts.
