Presentation

The Specialization Course in Public Management was an initiative of the Urban and Regional Research and Planning Institute (IPPUR-UFRJ), in synergy with the successful experience of creating the Graduation Course in Public Management for Economic and Social Development (GPDES). We have set a partnership with the Personnel Dean (PR4/UFRJ) for the 2018 class, a fact that allowed having one class exclusive to university servants; it was done in order to contribute to our institutional development. In 2019, decision was made for opening the course for the external public, since we were encouraged by the experience with the first class and inspired by GODES protagonism; the idea was to provide theoretical tools that could contribute to the formation of high-level experts capable of performing leadership and innovation parts in management activities in several public bureaus and entities, always moored on democratic values and in favor of public interests.
