Objective
As international cooperation intensifies in Europe it is important for practising public managers to be equipped with an awareness of European issues in public management. However little formal training exists in this area. This project aims to set up a network of universities in partner countries to develop and test a common learning programme for public managers.
The programme will be tested in two different sessions. A one-week residential seminar in Trieste will consist of lectures and group discussions involving the participation of specialists in strategic management, economics, political science and organisation theory, for example. Following this, students will be required to submit a report using the perspectives presented during the seminar in a study of their own organisation.
The second session will last two weeks and will take place in London. The first week of the second session will also be in the lecture-discussion format. The second week will be organised as in-company training. Students will be asked to make a study of specific management problems in the host company.
Impact
The common learning programme is the first stage in the creation of other management training modules to be developed by the partnership and leading to the title of European Master of Public Administration (EMPA). This project will therefore contribute to the exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge between partner universities, encourage the adoption of a recognised standard in public management training, help enhance the quality of life-long learning for public managers and promote improved conditions for the mobility of public managers across Europe.
