Collaboration is not simply a body of substantive knowledge–it also is a set of skills, attitudes and behaviors. This E-PARCC competition track aims to expand access to high-quality, relevant case studies and simulations focused on helping students and practitioners better understand and enact multiple aspects of collaboration to address public issues and problems.

Public and nonprofit managers, civic leaders and elected officials are rarely unitary supervisors of unitary organizations. Instead, they often find themselves collaborating in multi-organizational networked arrangements, as well as with the public, to solve problems that cannot be solved, or solved easily, by single organizations.
