During the annual IASIA conference in Rome this year (13-17 June) EAPAA was presented at a meeting about the relations between IASIA at the one hand and other organizations like NASPAA, ASPA, NISPAcee and EAPAA, at the other. It was stressed by the EAPAA’s secretary-general that both organisations share the commitment to improve the quality of public administration education. IASIA is in the process to establish a system of accreditation for both public administration training institutes and public administration degree programmes. It is EAPAA’s opinion IASIA should focus on training institutes, and degree programmes in other regions than Europe and North America where well established public administration accreditation systems are operational.
