The objective is to promote co-designed solutions presented by the representatives of EU entities, institutions and the EU regions, sharing the best practices and supporting other EU regions to foster the creation of long-term strategic partnerships between EU organizations and its partners.
This session aims to foster a high-level political debate, presenting experiences and good practices with a focus on the green and digital transition, and on youth and its perspective in the future. It will focus on sharing political strategies, experience and good practices, and facilitating cooperation and networking, including contributions from the audience.
After the speakers’ presentations, a short debate and networking will be organized with all the speakers in order to open the floor to questions from the audience as well as giving the opportunity to share visions, concepts and strategies under the scope of smart communities, namely those predominantly rural.
