Stakeholder relationship management is one of the key challenges not only for public management but also for public policies.

Public management carried out by public administration units or non-governmental organizations is becoming an increasingly complex, multi-layered process, requiring making often difficult decisions by many entities and for many recipients. Therefore, the concept of stakeholders, their management and the management of their relationships has become one of the most important areas in practice. The key areas in this regard are: How does public administration build and maintain relationships with business entities or non-governmental organizations? Can we talk about long-term relationships between various types of stakeholders?

Similarly, the implementation of public policies takes place in response to the needs of not only individual people but also social groups or even entire communities. In addition, they are implemented, as well as initiated by interest groups or pressure at the micro- or macro-structural level, various types of organizations, or social networks of various actors. Here, too, there are open questions: How do actors build lasting relationships in order to implement sectoral policies? Is attention paid to building lasting relationships between stakeholders in the creation of public policies?

In both cases: public management and the creation of public policies – management of relations with stakeholders becomes a key challenge for all entities in the field of local government, government administration, non-governmental organizations and business.

During the conference, we would like to discuss and reflect on the following issues and thematic areas:

• - Management and governance of stakeholder relations in the commune, district, region
• - Stakeholder management by local government and central/national government
• - Participation of non-governmental organizations in relationship management
• - The role of stakeholders in the development of public policies: the role of business, NGOs, pressure groups, interest groups, social movements, business
• - CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and CSV (Creating Shared Value) in building stakeholder relationships
• - Social networks in public policymaking
• - Public governance for citizens, workers, entrepreneurs and consumers
• - Public management created by citizens, employees or consumers
• - Managing online stakeholder relationships
• - Ethics in public services
