The Permanent Study Group “Public Administration and Teaching” was initiated at the EGPA Conference in Berne 2005. It continues the work of the EPAN Thematic Network Project between 1998 and 2004.

The Permanent Study Group wants to achieve the following objectives:

• To exchange ideas, opinions and experiences about teaching and training Public Administration/Management.
• To explore current tendencies in professional training and reflect on different approaches followed by academic and professional institutions, as well as to define successful systems of cooperation between academia and the professional world.
• To create a platform for academic cooperation between institutions offering programs in Public Administration concerning curriculum development, joint modules, teaching methods etc.
• To reinforce doctoral programs by sharing current tendencies and connecting doctoral training with research in Public Administration on a European level.
