IPA - The Institute of Public Administration

The IPA has a particular expertise in designing, organising and hosting study tours to Ireland and we offer tailor-made, high-quality study visits in areas such as EU Structural Funds, Civil Service Reform, HR Development, Operational Programmes, Public Administration Institutes, etc.

Each study tour is designed with the specific needs and requirements of the target group in mind. Most often, the agenda and programme are developed as a collaborative project with representatives of the participating country. Programmes incorporate a mixture of expert inputs and discussion, training and site visits. We include external experts and Irish civil servants to guarantee a high level of practical and experience-based input.

The IPA has the organisational capacity to administer the study tour with respect to flight arrangements, accommodation and local travel where necessary. Study tours vary from two to five days duration depending on specific requirements.
