The European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA) was founded in 1999 to develop and maintain a system for the voluntary accreditation of academic public administration programmes in Europe. The international recognition by peers is an important assurance for the quality of a degree programme.

EAPAA is an association whose members are institutions that offer academic degree programmes in public administration, public management, public policy, and the like. More than 30 institutions in 16 countries already are member of EAPAA (see under EAPAA > Members tab).

EAPAA is an autonomous organisation, but collaborates closely with other organisations in the field of Public Administration, like EGPA, NISPAcee, IIAS, IASIA and NASPAA (see the Links tab for an explanation of these acronyms and links to their websites).
EAPAA is recognised by the Dutch-Flemish accreditation authority NVAO as an Quality Assessment Agency.

The statutes of the association can be found under the Download tab in the category EAPAA Membership.

More information on the membership of EAPAA can be found under EAPAA > Membership.
