Welcome letter of the Hungarian EUPAN Presidency
Welcome to the Hungarian Presidency
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you as Hungary takes on the Presidency of the European Public Administration Network (EUPAN) for the second time.
In this era of rapid changes and uncertainties, we continue to navigate turbulent times filled with challenges. These persistent difficulties make it more crucial than ever to rely on practice-based cooperation and forums like EUPAN.
We are committed to fostering collaboration, sharing best practices and advancing administrative excellence across member and observer states along the following priorities:
- Legal and structural development of HR policy and generational research;
- User-friendly digital public services on mobile devices and the future use of AI;
- Greening of public administration;
- HR government decision-making support.
We will address these themes through research among member and observer states and within our public administration, by inviting guest speakers and by organising workshops. In line with EUPAN traditions, we aim to provide ample time and social space for interactive discussions and informal exchanges of experiences.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Belgian colleagues for their outstanding work and performance during their term, setting a high standard for us to follow. Nonetheless, we are eager to meet this challenge as we assume the duties of the EUPAN presidency.
As you may know, this responsibility is shared by the Ministry of Public Administration and Regional Development, along with the Ministry of Interior. We will undertake the professional tasks related to academia in close collaboration with Ludovika University of Public Service.
We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest and continuing our fruitful cooperation. Let us seize this opportunity to strengthen our network and create a lasting impact.
Sincerely yours,
Katalin Uzsák
Deputy State Secretary Responsible for the Operation of Territorial Public Administration, Ministry of Public Administration and Regional Development
Enikő Kovácsné Szekér
Deputy State Secretary for Personnel Affairs, Ministry of Interior
