At the heart of the proceedings are the main battles for the protection of the financial and administrative autonomy of Municipalities: from the "No to Consip for tax collection" campaign to the class action defense of mountain regions, as well as proposals for safeguarding inland areas and the outcomes of the legal battle against ISTAT sanctions targeting Mayors.
Ample space will be dedicated to administrative innovation, featuring scientific analyses conducted in collaboration with SDA Bocconi on the application of artificial intelligence to administrative procedures, and with the Polytechnic University of Milan on publicly initiated Public-Private Partnerships as a tool for delivering local projects in the post-PNRR era.
The agenda also includes the session "Competencies in Municipalities" (Competenze in Comune), featuring the presentation of diplomas and the launch of the ninth edition of the University Master's in Project Management and the Master's in Public Policy. The President of ARAN, Antonio Naddeo, is also scheduled to speak on the challenges of public employment, recruitment, and the enhancement of human capital within Local Authorities.
Throughout the day, attendees can visit the ASMEL Demo Area, which showcases operational solutions and joint service management, with a specific focus on the Eligible List procedure and the new Register of Exam Board Members.
In the afternoon, proceedings will continue with two technical roundtables: one dedicated to Local Tax Reform, focusing on revenue management and business crisis resolution; and another on the Qualification of Contracting Authorities for the execution phase, featuring an accredited course by the National School of Administration (SNA).
