This annual event brought together around 60 national PES performance assessors to examine and refine the PES assessment framework, thus providing the first forum to prepare the next Benchlearning cycle.

The workshop overviewed the third Benchlearning cycle and the results of its related survey, as well as the outlook and roadmap of the consultation on the PES assessment framework refinement. Participating PES then discussed in groups the elements to be revised, the integration of EU and international policy considerations, new elements to be added, as well as procedural issues such as PES assessor recruitment and the organisation and agenda of a Benchlearning visit.
