‘EUPAN’ (EUROPEAN ADMINISTRATION PUBLIC NE TWORK)It is an informal network of cooperation between the Member States in the field of public administration and a platform for the exchange of views, experiences and good practices with a view to improving the performance, competitiveness and quality of the Central Administrations in the Member States.

ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS

• Ministers of Member States and Commissioner responsible for Public Administration
• Directors-General
• Working Groups

OPERATION

The traditional mode of action of EUPAN has been modified since 2015 as a result of a process of reviewing its functions and objectives. The governance of the EUPAN network has been strengthened, increasing its strategic role and defining a more dynamic, flexible and continuous work programme that facilitates its deployment and monitoring.

The Presidencies’ organisation model for a trio format is replaced by a more extended one based on a troika (Eupan +5). The priorities for work are set out in a phased programme or Rolling Programme which will be continuously redefined and updated by successive Troikas under the leadership of the current presidency and within a Strategy Paper.

WORKING GROUPS

Traditionally, there has been an organisation of the work of EUPAN in two working groups: Human Resources and Innovative Public Services, although there has been a change as a result of the evaluation process of the Eupan Network.

Currently, there are the working groups: “HR and Organizational Development” and “Service to Society”, as well as all those groups that are created “ad hoc” to work on matters that are considered of interest to EUPAN.
