The purpose of the NSG is to bring decision-makers around civil service learning, transformation and skill-building together for sharing, cooperation and to form valuable connections. The OECD facilitates this, and also aims to share our expertise and data. Members are government schools, or universities responsible for educating civil servants.
The main event of the NSG is an annual meeting, which is hosted by a different member institute each year. Because of this, the annual meeting moves location. For example, in recent years the meeting has been in South Korea, Brazil, France, Italy, and Dubai.
Attendees of the annual meeting are generally heads of schools, senior executive civil servants, or senior faculty, depending on the type of institution.
Periodically, there are also other events like webinars.
