The working groups are coordinated by the steering committee in which all partner organisations are represented.
Monitoring the progress of the workings groups is considered the central task of the steering committee. Therefore, each working group reports to the steering committee. The steering committee develops proposals for the further advancement of existing core activities, for the initiation of a new or for the possible closure of an existing core activity within the initiative.
