RICPA is the fruit of a joint initiative by the Centre for Public Administration and Local Government (EKDDA) and the Supreme Administration of Greek Civil Servants Trade Union (ADEDY). The official opening ceremony was held on January 25, 2008 in Thessaloniki, and was greeted by Interior Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos.
