In June 2005, the Section on Ethics of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) and our partner, the Study Group on Ethics and Integrity of the European Group on Public Administration (EGPA), co-sponsored the Transatlantic Dialog on Ethics and Integrity in Leuven, Belgium. The success of that event convinced us that we should continue this arrangement. Thus it was agreed that we would continue to hold these conferences biennially. The broad goal of the 2007 conference, as with the one in 2005, was to strengthen co-operation between European and U.S. scholars on the workshop topic. Toward that end, all relevant aspects of administrative ethics were discussed with particular attention given to the similarities and differences, both in theory and practice, between Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world. The title for the 2007 conference was New Concepts, Theories and Methods in the Study of Ethics and Integrity of Governance.
