The Public Governance Institute of the KU Leuven University exists in its current form since 1998 and originated from the merger of two institutes: ‘Vervolmakingscentrum voor Overheidsmanagement en Beleid’ (founded after World War II) and ‘Bestuur en Overheidsmanagement’ (Political Sciences department). The institute provides a scientifically underpinned contribution to the management and policy of both national public authorities of different administrative levels (local, regional, federal) and international public authorities, taking into account the core tasks of a university (research, education, training and service).
The activities of the institute can be grouped into five clusters: (1) Citizen and policy, (2) Governance and organisation, (3) Electronic government, (4) Personnel and change, and (5) Finance, quality and performance. Within the marine domain, the institute contributes to the fisheries policy.
