Working method

The study group chooses a theme to work on for two to three years. The theme always deals with new developments in public personnel policies. A call for papers is made for each EGPA-conference. Participants are invited to present papers. They get feedback from colleagues which they can take into account in revising their papers. The result of our work is a publication which includes the most interesting papers, covering different European countries or different aspects.
