Dear EUPAN Colleagues,
It is a great honour for Cyprus to assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union
on 1 January, 2026 and therefore to undertake the Presidency of European Public
Administration Network (EUPAN). Cyprus EUPAN Presidency is dedicated to advancing the
Network’s collaborative efforts, promoting innovation and excellence across public
administrations throughout the EU.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the previous presidencies for their dedicated
leadership during the previous terms, which provides a foundation for us to build upon and
During Cyprus Presidency, the EUPAN meetings will focus mainly on three (3) areas:
• Strategic Human Resource Management: Emphasizing the sharing of experiences related
to strategic workforce planning, this area will examine the evolving workforce landscape in
public administration and highlight the skills needed for the future.
• Strengthening Participation and Trust: This involves enhancing the delivery and
sustainability of high-quality public services through digital technologies. Key topics
include open government initiatives, co-creation and participatory practices, and the
advancement of citizen-centred digital public services.
• Evidence-Based Human Resource Decision-Making: Insights gathered from Member
States through the recently shared questionnaire will be presented and discussed. This
will support the exchange of good practices on leveraging measurable data to identify
organizational gaps and foster growth amidst digital and green transformations.
We trust that you will find the agenda both valuable and engaging and look forward to
meaningful exchanges throughout our Presidency.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cyprus and to exploring together themes of mutual
interest.
Best Regards,
Elena Economidou Azina
Director
Public Administration and Personnel Department
Ministry of Finance, Cyprus
