Overview of the research program

Based in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University, the ANZSOG research program is a research initiative by government, universities and business schools that focuses on public administration and management.

The agenda is built on innovative and cutting edge research in partnership with the public sector and academia to:

• contribute to continued public sector reform;
• support development and transmission of good practice in both policy and management;
• inform debate on key issues in public administration;
• maintain the quality and relevance of ANZSOG's teaching.
