The fifteen years I spent at EIPA in the beautiful city of Maastricht were the highlight of my career – a chance to work with colleagues from across Europe and an opportunity to share experience by teaching and writing about European issues. It was an opportunity to help public officials at EU, national and sub-national level to improve the way the EU works for its citizens – the highlight being participation from 2009 to 2021 in the European Public Sector Awards (EPSA) led by EIPA which encourages public sector bodies to share their experiences and good practices for the benefit of others.
