SAYP 2016 will take place 13–24 June 2016 and is organised by SI and Malmö University.

SAYP is a training programme developed to build new networks, knowledge and practices for increased transparency, efficiency and resilience in public administration in the countries in the Baltic Sea region and the EU Eastern Partnership countries. The programme also aims to strengthen young professionals and their individual capabilities to meet the requirements of a modern governance structure.

The application period for SAYP 2016 is 4–31 January 2016.

Who can apply?

The programme is targeted primarily at young professionals (up to 35 years old) already employed in the state structures, working with development of policy and measures to create a more transparent, resilient and efficient public administration. Applicants may preferably work within financial management/control and audit services, but may also work in other parts of the administration.

In 2016, we are focusing on young professionals from these groups:

Policymakers (politicians, government officials, employees of political parties)
Public servants (non-political civil servants working at government agencies)
Civil society workers (CSO/NGO volunteers/employees)

A general requirement for any applicant is a good command of English language (the degree of proficiency should be specified in the CV) and a relevant education, consisting of at least three years of previous studies.

Young professionals employed in any of the above-mentioned countries but with a citizenship of another country in the Baltic Sea region are also qualified to apply. Young professionals currently not working in any of the eligible countries according to the above cannot apply.

Programme outline

Module title: Sustainable Public Management

Malmö University 13–24 June 2016

The course Sustainable Public Management aims to strengthen young professionals in their work to create a more transparent, resilient and efficient public administration in the participants’ countries. The course consists of two parallel tracks.

The first track is structured thematically and will cover topics such as: public management, governance, transparency, leadership, gender equality and public ethics.

The second track is oriented towards project management and group work. Specific focus will be directed towards cross-sector collaboration and social and public innovation.

Through SAYP, the participants will be able to expand their own contact networks and share ideas, experiences and challenges. The participants may also take part in follow-ups and thematic workshops afterwards, as fellows of the Swedish Institute Alumni Network – a vast professional and global contact network meant to keep building good practice and underpin mutual learning processes for a sustainable future.
