In general, the following problems were discussed in the working group: new challenges to develop public administration studies under conditions of internationalisation and networking; progressive experience of public administration studies accumulated through international practice and networking; establishment and development of public servants’ education and training systems and the development and implementation of national and international solutions for the improvement of such systems.

The working group specified certain problems and suggested solutions to them. First of all, it was decided that the content of the public administration studies has to be relevant to the new requirements, predetermined by internationalisation and networking and prospects of co-operation between the EU and other countries.

Moreover, education processes of public administration studies and in-service training have to be increasingly internationalised. It is essential to develop international networks of Centres and Institutions for civil servants and public administration specialists’ training, studies and in-service training, and also to develop distance-learning technologies and, based on that, to internationalise the processes of training, studies and in-service training.
