After several years of development and expansion, the constellation of the Consortium has been altered, and represents now a better European geographical balance. As of February 2008, the current partners are:

- Corvinus University of Budapest (Hungary)

- Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam (Netherlands)

- Hochschule für Verwaltungswissenschaften in Speyer (Germany)

- Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (France)

- Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium, Flemish region)

- Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium, Walloon region)

- University of Bocconi (Italy)

During the Annual Meeting of 2010, we welcomed a new partner, the Institut d’Études Politiques de Lyon (France).

The EMPA partners proceed to work on the basis of commonly agreed standards - the so-called "Basic Charter" -, which all partners accepted.
