Dr. Vitalio Nakrošio, Vilniaus Universitetas, Tarptautinių santykių ir politikos mokslų institutas Informacija apie dalyvavimą COST S1207 veiklos valdymo komitetų posėdžiuose ir juose nagrinėtus klausimus COST S1207 veiklos koordinatorių kvietimu 2013 m. VU TSPMI tyrėjai įsitraukė į šią veiklą ir jos darbo grupes (II grupė Vidines (po-)nvv reformos ir IV grupė Demokratinis atsinaujinimas ). Informuoju, kad 2013 m. rugsėjo 10-13 d. buvau išvykęs į Edinburgą (Jungtinė Karalystė), kur dalyvavau COST S1207 veiklos valdymo komiteto ir darbo grupių posėdžiuose. Valdymo komiteto posėdžio metu buvo pristatytas veiklos statusas ir nauji dalyviai, aptartos preliminarios mokslinių tyrimų darbotvarkės ir galimos jungtinės veiklos, pateiktos įvairių veiklos veiksmų ataskaitos, būsimųjų renginių uždaviniai ir kiti klausimai. Darbo grupių susitikimų metu buvo pristatyti jų mokslinių tyrimų interesai, vykdomi projektai, veiklos ir rezultatai, aptarti su darbo grupių temomis susiję pranešimai, būsimosios veiklos ir bendrų mokslinių publikacijų idėjos. Šių renginių metu pristačiau Lietuvos mokslinių tyrimų rezultatus ir planus, susijusius su šios veiklos ir II grupės temų turiniu. Pagal II darbo grupės planą TSPMI tyrėjai pradėjo rengti apžvalginę ataskaitą apie veiklos valdymo ir naujosios viešosios tarnybos strategijos reformas Lietuvoje centriniu ir vietos lygmeniu 1990-2013 m. laikotarpiu, kurioje bus pateikta informacija apie šių reformų tendencijas ir iniciatyvas, pagrindinius informacijos ir duomenų šaltinius. Pagal IV darbo grupės planą TSPMI tyrėjai pradėjo rengti apžvalginę ataskaitą apie svarbiausias demokratinio atsinaujinimo formas Lietuvos savivaldoje po 2000 metų. Ataskaitoje bus pateikta informacija apie demokratinio atsinaujinimo iniciatyvas, jų iniciatorius ir palaikymo koalicijas. Sekantis valdymo komiteto posėdis įvyks Potsdame (Vokietija) 2014 m. gegužės mėn. Dr. Vitalis Nakrošis, VU TSPMI profesorius
