… Group 4: Functionality, budgets, risks and efficiency Chair: Michelle Everson (Birkbeck College, London) Rapporteur: Machiel van der Heijden (Leiden University) In the day-to-day management and operation of EU agencies, public officials are confronted with challenges and problems that ring true for a broader population of public organizations as well.
