The joint dosctoral study program Governance and Economics in the Public Sector was evaluated according to the five standards of Article 23 of the Criteria and according to Criteria for International Cooperation in Higher Education. For the four standards, we identified advantages, such as the example of good practice with the introduction of Commissions for monitoring the progress of doctoral students, which monitor the research work of the doctoral student from the first year of study onwards. Similarly, we assess 25 very positively that additional incentives for students have been introduced in order to promote students' scientific research work, such as co-financing registration fees at scientific conferences for doctoral students. Students and graduates also highly praised the communication and the ongoing solution of all content, research and other problems or issues, with the coordinator of the doctoral study program at the Faculty of Public Administration, prof.dr. Klun. We have identified a few other advantages, which we list in full in the report. For the three standards, we identified opportunities for improvement, which are also described in the report. In Standard 2, we identified one partial compliance with the standard, namely the need to establish closer active and balanced cooperation of both partner institutions in all areas related to the self-evaluation of the study program, at all levels of the self-evaluation cycle, in accordance with the Consortium Agreement.
