(PADST): Public Administration Capabilities for Digital and Sustainable Transition

欧洲各地的公共行政面临着双重压力，既要适应数字时代，又要促进可持续发展。在此过程中，政府需要发展新的公共行政和政策能力，并重新发展旧的公共行政和政策能力。目前的项目所依据的假设是，公共行政部门在推动可持续未来的技术进步的社会塑造中是一个关键但往往被忽视的齿轮。PAFSD项目的目标是在爱沙尼亚TalTech的公共管理，数字化转型和可持续转型的十字路口创建新一代世界级的研究，教学和知识转移能力。这将通过补充TalTech现有的独特知识基础来实现，培训新一代早期职业研究人员，高级研究人员和支持人员之间交流新知识，开发新的教育能力，积极参与国际政策网络，提高组织能力，并进行实践小规模研究项目。PADST项目将汇集三所欧洲领先的研究型大学-鲁汶大学，乌得勒支大学和伦敦大学学院-与TalTech的能力，以开发一个国际尖端研究中心，研究和塑造适合爱沙尼亚，欧洲及其他地区数字和可持续未来的公共管理能力。

Public administrations across Europe face double pressure to adjust to the digital age while inducing sustainable development. As they do so, the governments need to develop new, and redevelop old, public administration and policy capabilities. The current project rests on the assumption that public administrations form a pivotal yet often neglected cog in social shaping of technological progress driving the sustainable future. The objective of the PAFSD project is to create a new generation world-class research, teaching and knowledge transfer capabilities at the cross-roads of public administration, digital transformation and sustainable transition at TalTech, Estonia. This will be achieved by complementing the existing unique knowledge base of TalTech with training a new generation early-career researchers, exchanging new knowledge between senior researchers and support staff, developing new educational capabilities, actively engaging in policy networks internationally, enhancing organizational capabilities and doing a hands-on small-scale research project. The PADST project will pool the competences of three of the leading European research universities - KU Leuven, Universiteit Utrecht, and University College London - with TalTech to develop an international cutting-edge research center studying and shaping public administration capabilities fit for the digital and sustainable future in Estonia, Europe and beyond.
