Regarding our conferences, it is important to highlight that our group annually gathers its members around a table of experts to discuss topics of interest to the region, which distinguishes it from other IIAS entities.
I invite you to become a key promoter of administrative culture at the regional level and contribute to furthering the values and activities of IIAS.
