We proudly present the participants to the Autumn Cohort of the 5th edition of the fellowship-based Aspen Public Service Leadership Program!

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

The Aspen Seminar, the 1st Module of the Autumn Cohort, took place in physical format between October 25 – 28, 2023, and was 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 was moderated by Mădălina Mocan, Aspen Fellow 2009.

The remaining module of the Autumn Cohort will take place at the beginning of the year 2024.
