Development and Promotion of a Communication Network Between National Schools and Institutes of Public Administration

1. Introduction
Under the Irish Presidency, the conference of the directors of National Schools and Institutes of Public Administration held in April 2004 in Ashford Castle Cong, agreed on an Agenda for the Future defining among others three main areas on which the conference of the directors could focus in the near future:
development of a common competence frame which could be used a priori as reference along which programmes could be build for a civil servant operating in Brussels
development of an internet portal in order to promote and to ensure a better communication in the network of schools and institutes of public administration
further development of the existing European exchange programme and completed with a blended learning programme for public and civil servants in the EU (ERT+)
The excellent work provided by the ROI during the Dutch Presidency allowed the conference of directors to progress very successfully in the definition of a common competence frame and in the identification of what a public leader needs to know, do and show to be effective in Brussels.
Another initiative that was taken up by the ROI was the development of a common internet portal as a platform to support communication between the schools and institutes.
In order to pursue the efforts undertaken by the Dutch Institute for Public Administration in that area and to follow the guidelines of the "Agenda for the Future", the Luxembourg National Institute of Public Administration (INAP), in close association with the Public Research Centre Henri Tudor (CRPHT), wanted to further support the intensification of communications between schools and training institutes of public administration.
The work described in this document started in January 2005. It is aiming at the identification of themes directors might be interested in, at structuring them, and at doing the groundwork in supporting the effective collaboration in the DSIPA group. It has been pursued during the meeting of 2nd and 3rd May, 2005, in Luxembourg.
It is not the purpose of this work to help in the choice of a particular (software) tool or framework for supporting the work of DSIPA, but rather to highlight important point that could be used as the foundation of a sound requirements set.
We describe below the methodology adopted by INAP and CRPHT, for the 3 issues mentioned above (identification, prioritisation and supporting), and highlight noteworthy results, remaining questions, and decisions to be made, eventually.
