2026 Regional Hosts | Call for Proposals

Are you planning a conference in 2026 and you want the PMRA to support it? The Public Management Research Association (PMRA) invites proposals to host a Regional Conference to be held in calendar year 2026. A PMRA Regional Conference is intended to:
  • Mentor and support new public management scholars, especially doctoral students and early-career researchers, and
  • Further internationalize PMRA by strengthening public management research communities in different world regions.

PMRA anticipates making one award of up to US $5,000 for a 2026 Regional Conference. PMRA funds are intended to supplement local resources (e.g., to support graduate/early-career participation, reduce registration fees, provide travel bursaries, or offset essential programmatic costs). The host institution bears responsibility for all contractual and financial obligations associated with the event. If the conference is cancelled, PMRA funds must be returned in full.

  • Call Opens: December 5, 2025
  • Proposal Deadline: January 15, 2026
  • For inquiries, please contact the PMRA manager at: [email protected]
