Title of the Project:
The Creation of
a Software Prototype for Online Education of Public Administration - Support of
the Dissemination of the Applied Research Results
Speakers: Ludmila Malikova, Comenius University, Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia
Luba Vavrova, Comenius University, Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia
The focus of our e-learning
project "The Creation of a Software Prototype for Online Education of Public
Administration - the Support of the Dissemination of the Applied Research
Results” is to support the research and development in the Bratislava region,
with special emphasis on the transfer of knowledge and technologies that are
elaborated by research and development into actual use in practice. The Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences,
Institute of Public Policy and Economics has already developed several study programmes and is successfully using this
system for the benefit of both students and teachers.
The project is EU-funded and
managed by a team of experts from the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences,
Institute of Public Policy, which belongs to the Comenius University in
Bratislava, the Faculty for Chemistry and Food Technology of the Slovak
University of Technology (STU) in Bratislava and EDEA PARTNERS a.s.
Further dissemination will
be aimed at institutions of public administration in order to connect the
survey results with practice and to support the participation of those organisations
on implementing knowledge into practice. Part of the dissemination will be the creation
of a publication that will analyse the results of the surveys, which were part
of previous activities. Newlyy created partnerships will also be aimed at the promotion of
participation in project activities by experts from public institutions,
providing technical support for the implementation of the software prototype
and expanding this e-learning system into public colleges within the region of
Central and Eastern Europe
Title of the Project:
CEMSDI project,
co-financed by ICT Policy Support Programme (CEMSDI -
Civil-servant Empowerment for Multi Media Service Delivery ICT-enabled)
Speaker: Irina
Zálišová, European Projects and Management Agency (EPMA), Prague, Czech Republic
The
project focuses on capacity building of civil servants and other practitioners,
forming part of the service delivery chain in territories in need of active e-Inclusion
and e-Government policies. The project uses DLA (Digital Local Agenda) as a key
instrument in achieving its goals. Five specific pilot actions at European
level in Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the UK will validate the training
and empowerment instruments created by the CEMSDI network of e-Government
experts.
The
aim of the presentation is to help the Czech Region, Vysocina, to investigate
the applicability of the Digital Local Agenda to enrich training in public
administration in CEE and Eastern countries and to invite NISPACee members to
co-operate.
Title of the Project:
Democratic Governance of Multi-ethnic
Communities
Speaker: Polya Katsamunska, University of National and World Economy, Department of Public Administration, Sofia, Bulgaria
In any democratic
society it is very important to lead mult-iethnic relations effectively -
particularly those relevant to achieving democratic governance of Multi-ethnic
Communities. Public administrators must pay more attention to this issue. This
topic is highly sensitive and significant to the NISPAcee regions as Central
and Eastern Europe and Central Asia are countries
with diverse ethnic compositions.
The aim of the
presentation is to raise awareness of the importance of this issue and
investigate opportunities for the renewal
of the NISPAcee Working
Group (WG) on Democratic Governance of Multi-ethnic Communities. The
WG aims to focus on
facilitating a better understanding of important issues regarding
administrative development and policymaking capacity in Central and Eastern
Europe and Central Asia.
What were/are the
issues public administrators face/focus on and how have they been managed? What
lessons have been learned and what were the public administration responses to
them? We are extremely interested to hear about experiences from scholars and
practitioners - what were the successes/failures and effective tools/mechanisms
of democratic governance of multi-ethnic communities?
Title of the
Project:
An International
Interdisciplinary Field Research of Local Self-governance in Small Towns and
Villages in Russia: Institutional Environment and Self-Organisation in Close
Communities
Speaker: Vasiliy
Skalon, Higher School of Economics, Institute of the State and Municipal Administration, Moscow, Russian Federation
The
main goal of the project is for young scientists from Russia and Europe to have
a more comprehensive image of local communities and local self-organisation in the
Russian hinterland (and self-organisation in general) and its problems and
peculiarities in comparison with European countries.
The
aim of the presentation is to find participants and other people interested in
the project to share ideas on the various forms of conducting the research and
to discuss further steps. A critical review of the proposed research would also
be beneficial.
The
presentation will contain the following information:
-
A description of the project.
-
A summaryof similar field research projects, conducted by the speaker in
2008-2010.
-
Justification of the chosen methods of research.
-
The argument for the scientific value of the proposed research and suggested
scientific benefits for the would-be participants.
-
Announcement of the current issues in the realisation of the project and
options for participation.
