Medium-term cooperation for an in-depth exchange of experience and concrete planning processes
In the Deep Dive cooperation format, a small group of municipalities works intensively on an innovative topic over a period of around two years with the aim of achieving a concrete result (cooperation project, draft law, action plan, etc.). The moderated planning process aims to jointly develop locally customised solution options and includes a variety of event formats.
