Exciting update! Our article (co-authored by @EllenWayenberg, @Lieselot_D, and me) is one of the most cited pieces in @RPR_Journal. Dive into the insights and join the conversation!😉

[Inke Torfs @InkeTorfs]

New paper in @RPR_Journal! 🤩
In this article w/ @EllenWayenberg and @Lieselot_D, we examined the impact of institutional shifts on digital policy by using the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory as a lens to explore the Belgian federal government between 2000 and 2020. @GovPA_UGent

Throwback naar mijn boekvoorstelling vorige week, in het gezelschap van vele vrienden, familie, collega's en andere geïnteresseerden. Interessante reflecties door @AnneliesVl @JosDHaese en @GuyTegenbos. Dankbaar voor de zeer grote opkomst. De 'politiek': het leeft en borrelt.

Proud to present you my SLR on SP in public orgs with @GeorgeBert. Reviewing 75 articles, it offers a research agenda & theoretical framework which helps us understand how SP is conducted in public orgs & why it may (not) have worked in certain contexts

Interessante sessies tijdens #Trefdag23 van @digi_vlaanderen met als centrale focus ‘connecting the dots’. Weer heel wat mooie praktijkinzichten over digitale transformatie binnen de publieke sector om verder mee te nemen in mijn onderzoek! 💪

[Digitaal Vlaanderen @digi_vlaanderen]

Jan Smedts opent de #Trefdag23: “Connecting the dots. We pakken samen de uitdagingen van morgen vast. Samen, met de overheid én de bedrijven, zijn we slagvaardiger om verandering te realiseren en Vlaanderen verder vooruit te duwen als innovatieve regio.” #digitaleoverheid #samen

[Inke Torfs @InkeTorfs]

[Inke Torfs @InkeTorfs]

Het moet wel heel straf onderzoek zijn als het mij op zaterdagochtend naar Brussel krijgt 😉
Proficiat Filip en Lieven met jullie sterke academische studie over de toekomst van het lokaal en binnenlands bestuur in Vlaanderen. Dat het de start mag zijn van een breed publiek debat!

[Gov & PA Ghent University @GovPA_UGent]

reminiscing about a great dep't trip earlier this week. Explored Ghent in a fun way in the morning and got to explore our creative genius in the afternoon with a sip&paint. Great day, fun team-building (we've got some artists amongst us!). 🤩🖼️🎨

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

On #PeaceDay, we remember the legacy of two EU pioneers, Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand, who almost 40 years ago held hands before the tragedy of history.

They dreamt of a future of unity and peace.

Their vision continues to inspire us.

@lizwehmeier Thank you for sharing! I think your research focus is really relevant 😊
