Words from the Director


Who is it for
The EMMAP participant, a new figure of "public servant".
EMMAP is the ideal meeting place for new public administration professionals, people who are highly motivated and culturally oriented toward the renewal of the public system. Managers with strong public ethics, aware of and respectful of the specificities and constraints of their role but far from the old bureaucratic mentality and capable of taking responsibility. Individuals committed to making public administration a place for building the country's welfare and development.
