Administration survey
The current research programme at the National Institute for Public Administration Germany includes undertaking an administrative survey for the public administration in Germany. This instrument for surveying public administration staff has already been established in other countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. However, it has not yet been implemented systematically in Germany. While thematic or institutional surveys have been conducted, a comprehensive survey of administrative staff across different levels of administrative and policy areas has not yet been undertaken. The National Institute for Public Administration Germany administrative survey aims to fill this gap in the research landscape.
Diversity in the public sector as a public value
Recent years have seen a proliferation of initiatives aimed at increasing and strengthening the diversity of the public sector workforce. This has been driven not only by skills shortages, but also by the recognition that broad representation contributes to greater responsiveness in public administration. By responding better and more specifically to the concerns and needs of all sections of the population, it also strengthens the acceptance of administrative actions. Ultimately, the project aims to create a 'toolbox' for the diversity-sensitive socialisation of public administration. The focus is on the state level and includes the management and professional levels embedded there.
The state and the metaverse: On the power to shape and organise the Internet of tomorrow
Much like the mythical island kingdom of Atlantis, the vision of the metaverse satisfies today's wanderlust. In the future, physical, augmented and virtual reality will merge to form a digital Atlantis. The 'New Internet' will be characterised overall by an unprecedented degree of decentralisation, interactivity and interoperability. The National Institute for Public Administration Germany project 'Metaversum' undertool pioneering work by exploring the infinite vastness of the 'New Internet' from the perspective of jurisprudence and science by highlighting not only existing regulatory requirements, but also – and in particular – regulatory gaps.
Development of a tool for prospective and accompanying legislative impact assessment
In the Protestant Church in the Rhineland (EKiR), the Synod is responsible for enacting legislation and overseeing the church budget. In recent years, the Synod has initiated a number of reform projects that have resulted in significant changes to the existing framework. In its reforms, it is of paramount importance to the EKiR that the implementation of the planned regulations and measures does not place an undue burden on the congregations. For this reason, the Regional Church Office, which is responsible for the development and elaboration of regulatory projects within the EKiR, needs a tool with which the consequences of regulatory projects can be systematically recorded and assessed. This should make it easier to identify potential implementation problems at an early stage so that they can be taken into account in the legislative process. In order to meet this need, the EKiR has commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to develop a bespoke tool for prospective and accompanying legislative impact assessments that is specifically tailored to ecclesiastical legislation.
Evaluation of the administrative regulation on public consultation
On behalf of the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg, the National Institute for Public Administration Germany is evaluating the 'Administrative regulation on public consultation' to regulate non-formal public consultation and the 'Guidance for a new planning culture'. The three-year evaluation comprehensively examines the current procedures of the regional councils in Baden-Württemberg with the help of questionnaires and guided interviews. In addition, all resource requirements (working hours), overheads (such as coordination tasks and training) and other important consultation measures (impact on third parties in accordance with Section 10 of the Federal Emission Control Act (BImSchG), impact in the area of planning approval procedures and regional planning procedures as well as consultation measures undertaken by the approval authorities for third parties) are included.
