Aims of EPSA

The vision is to create an arena in which Europe's public sector institutions can excel and become an exemplar for the rest of the world. Against this backdrop, the EPSA aims to achieve the following goals:

to contribute to the progress and implementation of the Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs
to create a common European administrative space
to devise new administrative problem-solving paradigms
to foster constructive competition amongst public sector organisations and reward excellence
to learn from the European leading edge
to create a network of public excellence and, thus, establish the conditions for a European learning platform on public administration solutions.

The award categories have promoted awareness of key dimensions of public value; in doing so, the EPSA has encouraged and will encourage governments to modernise their administrative structures and practices and address the essential themes of administrative reform in Europe.
