Public Governance Institute (PGI) is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. It is founded in 1988, but predecessors date back to the 1960s. The KU Leuven Public Governance Institute is an internationally oriented and interdisciplinary research institute that focuses on different aspects of public governance. The group size is around 50 FTE faculty, research fellows, PhD candidates, support staff. The mission of PGI is to gain knowledge and insight regarding politics, administration and public policies (including agricultural ones) at local, regional, federal, European and international levels. PGI is an internationally oriented and interdisciplinary research and education institute. It strongly focuses on the different aspects of public governance in multiple policy domains (such as agriculture and climate). Public governance is a broad domain, that is the reason why this research institute focuses on three distinct but partly overlapping research themes: a) Politics, citizens and policies; b) Administrative organization and HRM; and c) Management of information (including geospatial information management), performance and finance. PGI is involved in numerous Horizon agricultural, digital transformation and climate change oriented projects.
