Working Groups

Policymakers face challenges of increasing complexity and scale. Therefore, they need to be constantly brought up to date regarding technological developments, fast-paced environments, and changing social landscapes. Policy solutions require coordination and knowledge sharing. ELF working groups contribute towards the development of policy proposals. They aim to facilitate the exchange of experiences, tools, and ways of addressing recurring problems – in short, to facilitate collective learning between policymakers and practitioners.
