During his visits, Prof.Dr.Knorr works closely with the lecturers of the Public Administration Department by exchanging practical experience, giving consultation and making a discussion with them in public administration and public policy fields. He also gives presentations on public administration topics for Master students and PhD students.
Prof.Dr.Knorr has been very active in programme and institutional accreditations since 2003 on behalf of several German (FIBAA, ZEvA, AQAS, AQUIN) and international accreditation agencies (ASHE/Croatia, Akkork/Russia, SKVC/Lithuania). So far, he is a peer reviewer in more than 100 programme accreditations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Lithuania, Russia, the Ukraine, Vietnam, India, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
