Since the first KAYFOR in 2003, KAYFOR has become the most important annual event among the public administration departments in Turkey, in which almost all PA departments in Turkey are represented, and most of the leading scholars of PA attend this conference. In recent years the international reach of the conference has been extending. After fifteen successful meetings, the 16th International Public Administration Forum (KAYFOR16) will be held in Kayseri during February 21-23, 2019. The main theme of KAYFOR16 is ‘Public Administration Education’. The main aim of the conference is to provide a platform where faculty and practitioners can exchange opinions and share experiences to improve PA education and to create possibilities of cooperation and collaborations. The list of previous KAYFOR meetings and forum themes is presented below.
