The 2025 ANPAD Divisional Conferences took place from June 11 to 13, 2025, at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in Goiânia, Goiás. The events promoted by ANPAD and organized by its Divisions and Interest Groups brought together three key areas of research in administration: Organizational Studies (EOR), Public Administration (APB), and Operations Management and Logistics (GOL).
The program was marked by academic exchanges with presentations of scientific papers, thematic panels, methodological workshops, training activities, and national and international lectures. One of the highlights, right at the beginning of the program, was the welcome coffee offered by a local junior enterprise, which greeted participants on the morning of the first day.
Also on June 11, ANPAD hosted the panel “Be a Complete Researcher: Publication, Editing, and Scientific Evaluation,” in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Scientific Editors (ABEC Brasil). The activity marked the beginning of an institutional collaboration between the two entities, reinforcing the commitment to editorial quality and the scientific education of the community.
The opening ceremony was attended by ANPAD’s Board of Directors: Emílio José Montero Arruda Filho (President-Elect), Susana Carla Farias Pereira (Scientific Director), Marco Aurélio Marques Ferreira (Treasurer and Administrative Director), Patricia Guarnieri dos Santos (Director of Communications and Publications), and Jorge Renato de Souza Verschoore Filho (Director for Education Affairs). A special tribute was paid to the President of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Professor Angelita Pereira de Lima, and Professor Vicente da Rocha Soares Ferreira, for the institutional partnership and support in organizing the event.
