Since 1-1-2011 EAPAA has new statutes. No longer public administration programmes can be member of EAPAA. Instead EAPAA now has two corporate members: EGPA and NISPAcee. However, the communication between EAPAA and public administration programmes that have interest in accreditation is very important. Therefore EAPAA has an Advisory Panel. All EAPAA affiliated programmes (the former members) explicitly are invited to the Advisory Panel meetings which are organised during the annual NISPAcee  conference in May and the annual EGPA conference in September.

During the Advisory Panel meetings information will be given about relevant developments in- and outside EAPAA on accreditation. Advice will be asked from the participants on certain issues, and changes in the EAPAA accreditation criteria and procedures will be explained.

This year the following issues are on the agenda:

1. Introduction of the new EAPAA secretary-general
2. EAPAA’s self-evaluation and the review by INQAAHE
3. The Tuning PA project
4. The future of EAPAA
