Internationalization and networking processes are one of the most
important conditions for a modernization of the public administration studies
and civil servants’ training systems in the European Union and in Central and
Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. The public administration studies and civil
servants' continuous training systems are closely related to the strengthening
of administrative capacities and new quality creation according to the new
global challenges.
In general the following relevant problems were
discussed in the working group:
·new
challenges to develop public administration studies under conditions of
internationalization and networking;
·progressive
experience of public administration studies accumulated through international
practice;
·establishment
and development of public servants education and training systems;
·development
and implementation of national and international solutions for improvement of
such systems, based on lifelong learning principles.
The
main attention was paid to the following issues: accepting new challenges for the improvement of public servants training,
studies and qualification quality; how to make public administration studies
and professional development quality relevant to international standards and
current needs; the importance of internationalization and networking for
teaching and professional development processes; sharing new experience
accumulated in CEE countries, members of the EU, while improving public
servants qualification and organizing teaching and studies; international
cooperation: its cultivation not only in CEE countries, but also within the EU
and Europe focusing on the EU quality parameters; possibilities for application
of the experience accumulated by 'old' EU countries as well as Western
countries in CEE countries; opportunities for dissemination and application of
Central and Eastern countries experience in other CIS countries; integration of
scientific research elements into processes of studies, training and
qualification improvement by networking and internationalization; necessity to
conduct and expand scientific researches in the sector of civil servants and
public administration specialists, studies and professional development.

international cooperation development in the area of civil servants’ training
and suggested solutions to them. The results of the WG-5 were determined the

administration studies and civil servants training accumulated in the world
practice, EU countries and other countries; new challenges, new opportunities
and new teaching technologies which are to be taken into consideration under

in the area of civil servants’ training and suggested solutions to them. The
title and content of the WG is relatively new – particularly actual and
promising nowadays. So, there is a great demand to continue the work in 2013
which has already begun.
In current time, internalization and networking processes are two of most important conditions for a modernization of the public administration studies and civil servants´training systems. These systems are closely related to the strengthening of administrative capacities and new quality creation according to the new global challenges.
Therefor the main attention of working group was focused on the following issues:
- accepting
new challenges for the improvement of public servants’ training, studies and
qualification quality,
- the importance of internalization and networking for teaching and professional development processes,
- sharing new experience accumulated in CEE countries, memebrs of the EU while improving public servants qualification and organizing teaching and studies,
- international cooperation: its cultivation not only in CEE countries, but also within the EU and Europe countries, opportunities for dissemination and application of Central and Eastern countries experience in Russia and other CIS countries and opprotunities for applying experience from Russia and other CIS countries,
- integration of scientific research elements into processes of studies, training and qualification improvement by networking and internalization,

Activities in 2010
Meeting of the Working Group on Internalization and Networking of Public Administration Studies
WG Programme Coordinators:
Eugenius Chlivickas, Training Centre of the Ministry of Finance, Vilnius, Lithuania
Place: 18th NISPAcee Annual Conference, Warsaw, Poland
Date: May 12-14, 2010
On the meeting of working group were discussed the
following problems:
- 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.
The Working Group on Capacity Building of a Civil Servants’ Training System According to EU Requirements was established in the year 2003 and from then the members met each year at the following NISPAcee conferences:
The 17th NISPAcee Annual Conference: "State and Administration in a Changing World”
Budva, Montenegro, May 14-16 , 2009
The 16th NISPAcee Annual Conference: "Public Policy and Administration: Challenges and Synergies"
Bratislava, Slovak Republic, May 15-17, 2008
The 15th NISPAcee Annual Conference: "Leadership and Management in the Public Sector: Values, Standards and Competencies in Central and Eastern Europe"
Kyiv, Ukraine, May 17-19, 2007
The14th NISPAcee Annual Conference: "Public Administration and Public Policy in Emerging Europe & Eurasia: For Professionalism, Impartiality and Transparency"

The 12th NISPAcee Annual Conference: "Central and Eastern European Countries inside and outside the European Union: Avoiding a new divide"
Vilnius, Lithuania, May 13-15, 2004
The following relevant problems were discussed during the meetings:
- new challenges to develop public servants training system under conditions of globalization, EU enlargement and knowledge society establishment;
- progressive experience of public servant’s training accumulated through international practice;
- establishment and development of public servants training systems, development and implementation of national and international strategies for improvement of such systems.
It was decided, that the content of the training and in-service training has to be relevat to the new requirements, pre-determined by EU enlargement and prospects of cooperation
between EU and other countries. The quality of training and in-service
training has to comply with the international standards and the latest
requirements. It is therefore necessary to establish an efficient system
of certification for training programmes, to develop and implement
highly dynamic systems of criteria for international certification of
the training and in-service training programmes for civil servants and
public administration specialists in all countries of the EU, as well as
third countries.
Processes of trainigand in-service traning ahve to be increasingly internationalised: training, studies and in-service traning reqire involvement of foreign lectures and trainers: it
is essential to develop international networks of centres and
institutions for civil servants and public administration specialists
training, studies and in-service training; it is essential to develop
distance-learning technologies and, based on that, to internationalize
processes of training, studies and in-service training. It is necessary
to conduct extensive scientific research in the area of training,
studies and in-service training for civil servants and public
administration specialists and to initiate and carry out comparative
research in the actual quality of training and in-service training
systems.
