Host Organisation : Chancellerie, Vienna, Austria. Vienna, with its very specific Legal
tradition – both in PA scholarship and PA practice – and the Austrian managerial experience as well, would be very suited to host a TED on this topic.

Target Group (recruiting and selection will be done by EGPA and by NISPAcee):
· top experts - responsibles from research institutes and some practitioners,
· young PhD students from EGPA and NISPAcee.

Format of the meetings:
· There’s going to be a limited number of participants (app. 40).
· There is a focus on dialogue and discussions. Therefore, there are no formal
presentations of papers; there are some keynotes to start a debate and participants
contribute with the elements of their research. There is a selection of people based
on research conducted and paper proposals. A selection of these papers will be
published.
· In principle, there is a series of topics to be covered with co-chairs for the debates
after a key note per topic.
