✨🌍 Thank you to the National Contact Point (Euro-MED National Contact Point Italia) for organizing the first National Forum for Interreg Euro-MED projects, and to all the Italian beneficiaries for their enthusiastic participation. The event was the perfect opportunity to expand the INTERREG family across Italy and create meaningful connections and synergies among the various projects. It was an honor to represent the Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission with the Regione Emilia-Romagna Cooperazione territoriale europea. Thanks to Interreg Euro-MED Natural Heritage, Interreg Euro-MED Green Living Areas, Sustainable Tourism, and the Interreg Euro-MED Programme. Let’s continue working together towards a more sustainable MED!🤝💡
On Thursday, we attended the first Forum dedicated to the Italian partners of Euro-MED projects, organised by the Euro-MED National Contact Point Italia of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme. It was a great opportunity to meet in person, catch up and share ideas on how to improve our cooperation. Highlighting once again the role of the Governance projects in supporting exchanges between the Thematic projects and in promoting the uptake of their results. Together with some of the Italian partners of our Thematic projects, we tried to map and localise solutions that they will implement at the Italian level to address the #challenges identified by their projects. And it was interesting to see how close they could be in terms of methodologies, approaches and tools to involve the actors of the 4-helix and drive innovation towards sustainable development 🌿 But even more outstanding was their active participation. They contributed to the exercise with genuine curiosity, also trying to understand how their actions could be mutually beneficial and applied in their respective projects. A great result, especially as we are increasingly encouraged to be more coordinated in order to maximise the impact of our actions 🆙 Special thanks to Interreg Euro-MED Programme, Euro-MED National Contact Point Italia, Regione Emilia-Romagna Cooperazione territoriale europea, Università di Siena, Alessandro Daraio, Stefania Leoni, Nicoletta Patrizi, Sara Giunchi, Interreg Euro-MED Natural Heritage, Interreg Euro-MED Green Living Areas, Sustainable Tourism.
