It is of the outmost pleasure to host the 12th Annual ECEG Conference at the Institute of Public Governance and Management of ESADE in Barcelona during June 14^th and 15^th, 2012.

Created in 1993, the Institute of Public Governance and Management has served to consolidate the experience already accumulated by ESADE since the 1980s when it began its initial endeavours in the public management field. Since then, more than 2,000 public leaders and managers have participated in the numerous activities organised, and the extensive research, books, conferences, scientific articles, case studies and other material published attest to the Institute members’ academic activity. Within ESADE, the Institute’s mission aims at contributing to improve governance and to develop responsible leadership in the public sector. Its future vision is to become an internationally renowned academic reference in the public governance and management field although it is already very well known in Spain and some Latin American countries

Barcelona offers its visitors a wide range of opportunities. It is Spain’s most cosmopolitan city with a lot of restaurants, bars and clubs but also with a beautiful seaside, amazing architecture, and great shops. Nobody gets bored in Barcelona!

We hope that you will be able to join us at ECEG 2012 and we look forward to welcoming you to our lively city.
