We proudly present the Participants to the Autumn Cohort of the 4th edition of the fellowship-based Aspen Public Service Leadership Program!

Following the successful third edition in 2021, when with the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Aspen Institute Romania, the program doubled its impact and organized for the first time two cohorts, this year’s fourth edition is also structured into the Spring Cohort (online) and the Autumn Cohort (in person).

This year’s Autumn Cohort aimed at selecting especially participants coming from institutions in the central public administration.

The Aspen Seminar, the 1st Module of the Autumn Cohort, takes place in physical format between September 28 and October 1, 2022, and is organized in partnership with the Aspen Institute US. Following the lines of the classic Aspen Executive Leadership Seminar, the module had as its theme ”Leadership, Public Service and the Common Good” and is moderated by Dr. Todd Breyfogle, Executive Director of Seminars for the Aspen Institute US.

The remaining module of the Autumn Cohort will take place until the end of the year.

The Spring Cohort of the 4th Edition was organized online between April and June 2022 and aimed at selecting participants coming from public institutions with impact at local or regional level.
