How City-Region Cooperation Crafts Sustainable Innovative Ecosystems: a Capacity Building workshop
Cities and regions both play a major role in the sustainable and resilient development of the European Union. They are leading on the climate and digital transition, as in the fight against social inequalities.
During the 22nd edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities, the European Urban Initiative is joining forces with the Hauts-de-France Region, Lille European Metropolis and Amiens Métropole to deliver an interactive workshop on how cities and regions can work together to leverage their innovation ecosystems. This is a side event to the #EURegionsWeek which takes place on 7-10 October 2024.
What to expect: Hands-on workshop, insights into multi-level governance and stakeholder engagement and networking tailored to your needs.
