European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA)

EIPA is an independent institute, with a Board of Governors composed of representatives of EU Member States and the Institute's associated members. These representatives form a permanent link between EIPA and national public administrations, and also guarantee a strong institutional network at the highest level of public administration throughout Europe.

EIPA’s headquarter is based in Maastricht (NL) since 1981 and has been complemented by centres in Luxembourg and Barcelona.

The Institute has a triple mandate spanning learning and development, research and consultancy. EIPA’s core clients are those working in the EU institutions and those associated with EU affairs in the civil services of the Member States.

EIPA's work contributes towards a better knowledge of the European integration process and European policies, whilst strengthening the capacity of public servants to perform effectively in this area.
