Benchmarking is the formal and structured process of searching for those practices which lead to excellent performance, the observation and exchange of information about those practices, the adaptation of those practices to meet the needs of one’s own organisation, and their implementation.”

About the Conference

The Final Conference on the Benchmarking Study 2022-2025 will bring together policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to discuss the results, lessons, and future perspectives emerging from the multi-year evaluation of public policy performance across key sectors in 35 countries, with a special focus on the Netherlands.

Since 2022, the study has systematically assessed the effectiveness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, satisfaction, and trust of citizens, enterprises, and other stakeholders with public services and policies. Covering domains from public administration and education to health, environment, and social security, the study provides a unique longitudinal perspective on how governance outcomes evolve over time.

At this final event, experts will present the updated findings of all policy areas, reflect on recent trends such as rising energy costs and inflation, and share best practices and case studies illustrating innovative approaches to policy challenges.

Participants will also have the opportunity to actively engage with the experts in dynamic Q&A sessions.

Details and the programme will be published soon. In the meantime, you can secure your place by registering below.
