This one day workshop will focus on the question of how trust in political institutions can be built. The overall aim of the workshop is to bring together practitioners and academics of German public administration and the German / International economy in order to exchange ideas and thoughts about how trust in political institutions is built.

The morning session will examine how private enterprises build trust and in the afternoon the German case will be discussed in depth by looking at the Länder of Hesse and Saxony-Anhalt, followed by a comparative look at France and the UK.
