Information for potential Site Visit Team members
For its members EAPAA organises evaluation, benchmarking and accreditation processes. Most of the times a site visit is part of such a process. For these site visits we need Site Visit Team members. An EAPAA site visit team normally consists of 3 foreign public administration scholars, a 'local' practitioner, and a student or graduate.

Criteria
A potential academic EAPAA site visit team member:

• is a senior public administration scholar (full or associate professor);
• has more than 5 years of experience in public administration teaching on the master level;
• has preferably experience with programme evaluation and/or accreditation; 
• is willing to serve in an EAPAA site visit team abroad (2-3 days) while only the travel and lodging costs are covered;
• has international experience;
• is speaking English, German or French.

Before being asked to join a site visit team, you have to follow the EAPAA site visit team member training. This training is regularly organised during the NISPAcee and EGPA conferences.

Before the site visit you have to read the programmes self-evaluation report to prepare for the site visit. A normal site visit takes 1,5 or 2 days. During these days the site visit team meets with all kind of persons with a relationship with the programme, like faculty/staff, managers, students, graduates, practitioners, etc. The purpose of these talks is to validate the information in the self-evaluation, and to clear unclear issues. In the site visit report, the site visit team presents its findings. In case of an accreditation process, this report, after being seen by the program, with the self-evaluation report, forms the basis for the accreditation decision by the EAPAA Accreditation Committee.

The travel and lodging costs for the site visit team members are paid by the programme. There is no payment for the time of the site visit team members; this time is the 'contribution' of your institute to the European public administration community. By spreading this 'burden' all EAPAA members are contributing more or less equally.
