EROPA CENTERS

DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT CENTER (KOREA)

Picture
In 1978, the EROPA Development Management Center in collaboration with the National Human Resources Development Institute in Korea initiated an Executive Policy Development Course. The Course was designed to provide senior executives with the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and enhance their capability in policy making. The Center, in collaboration with NHI, conducted five sessions of this course.

In 1987, The Development Management Center embarked on an International Executive Development Program for Government Officials of EROPA Countries as part of the International Technical Cooperation Program. The Center has conducted five International EDPs, being host to a total of 88 participants from countries in the EROPA region and outside the region, including Guyana, Hungary, Trinidad and Tobago, Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Chile, Romania, Bahrain.

The International Executive Development Program focuses on strategies associated with Korea’s rapid economic development and the morale training of Korean Government officials who have played key roles in that development. During the course, every effort is made to foster the development of mutual understanding and cooperative relationships between the Korean Government officials and the participants of the course.

The program is an intensive course designed to arm participants with a cooperative spirit, positive attitude and physical training in an open and cooperative atmosphere. The course also covers innovative leadership practices and developmental thinking. Through in-depth personal examination, participants are provided an opportunity to assess their own situations and to reflect upon themselves, thus, gaining a comprehensive understanding of who and what they are. Equipped with this knowledge, participants will be better able to determine what they can and should do to improve themselves and thereby become more effective public administrators.

HUMAN RESOURCE RESEARCH CENTER (CHINA)

The EROPA Human Resource Research Center is a research network established by the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science (CAPS), with support from EROPA and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the Government of the People’s Republic of China. After getting confirmation to change its focus from E-Government (EROPA E-Government Research Center established in 2014) in the 2019 EROPA Conference, it is now committing itself to establishing a platform in the Asia-Pacific region to promote innovative research and practices in the field of Human Resource Management (HRM). The Center strives to attain this by building cooperative networks, developing a repository of studies and best practices in HRM, and conducting workshops, seminars, and conferences that discuss relevant issues in the field.  

LOCAL GOVERNMENT CENTER (JAPAN)

As an EROPA Local Government Center, the Local Autonomy College invites trainees  from various countries to provide international training on Japanese local administration. Also, the College makes publication of "Comparative Study," which is a book on comparative study on local administration. 

The curriculum of a typical course includes 19 days of lectures, 6 days of seminars and 22 days of field trips. The lecturers are composed of eminent professors from various universities, specialists from research institutions and expert officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and others. Within the Programme, seminars are held on the comparative study of local governments, within the participants’ countries. The subjects include comparative studies concerning
  1. local government systems;
  2. public personnel system; and
  3. problems of regional development and approaches to their solutions.​
Seminars are devoted to discussions and exchanges of information and views based on country experiences. Various field trips in connection with the lectures and seminars are carried out so that participants could thoroughly understand actual local public administration. The participants visit public facilities and discuss with senior officials in charge of these public facilities.

This course was first introduced in 1964 and has drawn about 10 participants every year since then.
