The Franco-German Future Work develops visions and policy recommendations in close collaboration with local and regional initiatives in France and Germany that are committed to social, economic, environmental or technological structural change in their region. These policy recommendations are presented to the French and German governments and to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly. The Franco-German Future Work was created by the Aachen Treaty signed in January 2019 to "work on the transformation processes of our societies."
