Codes of Collaboration Collection

Many governments regulate the way government units collaborate with other government units and/or external actors such as business entities, professional bodies, civil society organizations and citizens.

This online Codes of Collaboration collection gives an overview to a selection of relevant rules and regulations for collaboration in Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom. The collection is not an exhaustive list but shows the complexity and variation of how collaboration is regulated across multiple areas of governance and public administration.

The majority of documents were collected in spring 2018, and you can find more information on these in the reports from Work Package 2 Consult original sources for potential amendments and/or replacements.
