The Scottish Public Management Network (SPMN)
The SPMN is a network of researchers and educators into and about public management who are based in HEIs, public policy and public service delivery organizations. Its purpose is to develop a collegiate forum
-
to share and collaborate with each other, in areas of research and teaching/education,
-
to interact with policy makers and practitioners in order to make an impact upon public management policy and practice in Scotland,
-
to develop the capacity of researchers in Scotland to conduct effective research and education activities in the field of public management, and
-
to influence the shape and direction of funding for public management research and education in Scotland.
It will seek both to enable Scottish public management to learn the key lessons emerging out of the global public management research and education community and to foster the contribution arising out of the Scottish experience for this global community.
Its membership is open to any researcher or educator who has a primary or secondary interest in public management and public policy, whether they be based in an HEI, public policy or public service delivery organizations. Its explicit intent is to foster collaboration between and across these communities.

The work forms part of the Economic and Social Research Council's Public Services Programme. It is co-sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and The Scottish Government (ESRC Reference RES-153-27-0015).
