Mission & Goals

CAOP is the independent knowledge and cooperation partner for the Dutch public sector in the field of work and learning. We are also committed to strong public administration. We bring people, organisations and governments together and tackle social issues with them. We do this by combining substantive knowledge from science and practice with knowledge about methods such as social innovation. In doing so, we draw on our many years of experience in the public sector and our established network in science.
