Interministerial cooperation can work with these measures

How can cooperation between two ministries work? A group of experts and project managers addressed this question in 2024. Their result: a list of prerequisites that, when fulfilled, make interministerial cooperation more possible. In this blog post, we show which spe­ci­fic measures should be implemented by institutions so that projects can be suc­cess­ful­ly worked on together instead of ending in a public dispute. We also present examples where collaboration in the public sector is already working very well.

The full blog post is currently available in German only.
