ReSPA is organising the Meeting of the Human Resources Management and Professional Development (HRMPD) Thematic Group, titled “Building Capacities of Training Institutions for Public Servants”,  on 10–11 March 2026 in Skopje, North Macedonia.

The  Meeting will focus on strengthening the institutional capacities of training providers for public servants across the Western Balkans and the Eastern Neighbourhood. It is particularly timely in light of North Macedonia’s adoption of the new Law on Professional Development and Training of Administrative Servants, which establishes the Academy for Professional Development and Training of Administrative Servants as a central institution for civil service training.

The event will serve as a platform to exchange experiences and good practices from EU Member States and peer administrations, and to discuss practical solutions for the establishment and operation of training academies.

The meeting is intended for directors and senior managers of public service training institutions and training managers from the Western Balkans and the Eastern Neighbourhood, as well as representatives of EU Member State academies and schools of public administration.

More information about the event is available in the Provisional Agenda.
