They should advise colleagues working in EU Delegations, EUNIC clusters worldwide, the European Commission (EC), the European External Action Service (EEAS), and in EUNIC members’ headquarters on how to design effective working relationships in order to further enhance their cooperation and ensure synergies and complementarity in the delivery of cultural relations strategies and projects.
The guidelines include guidelines focusing on five chapters:
- Developing a shared strategic vision

- Professionalising the partnership
- Designing and implementing projects together
- Defining a monitoring and evaluations approach
They furthermore contain explanations of each party's roles and responsibilities, as well as annexes incuding models of financing, examples and template documents and best practices of coordination.
