Especs is in the process appointing an Academic Board with a solid track record in evaluation methodology and practice. This Academic Board is to:
- Serve as a sounding board for the senior management of Especs on the strategic direction Especs should follow.
- Advise Especs on the options available for formal academic accreditation of the Especs training courses. For this purpose some of the Board members will have strong links to the academic world.
- To advise Especs in complex public-domain issues and on selected evaluation assignments carried out by Especs, especially on methodological aspects.
