PAST APPLICATION EVENTS PAST IMPLEMENTATION EVENTS PAST PUBLIC EVENTSboDEREC-CE project partnership would like to invite to participate in the National Start-Up Stakeholders Workshop.The objective of the boDEREC-CE stakeholder workshops is to get more insights into stakeholder perceptions about the challenges they face, the experiences they made and the tools they require to improve their daily operations. Given the general scope of boDEREC-CE, the project group seeks to develop such a tool (modePROCON), which can help stakeholders to detect and assess emerging contaminants in their respective area of interest. In order to develop a tailored framework for modePROCON, intense stakeholder interactions are required to guide the development process.Decision making in the light of managing emerging contaminants is a crucial task that water managers, public authorities and other related stakeholder groups need to face. Most of the time, data are missing to make detailed evaluations about the source of specific pollutants, to investigate their fate and transport in the environment and to identify what problems they may cause.Workshop will be held:Poland: 17th March 2020, Katowice, Żeliwna 38Croatia: 19th March 2020, SplitCzech Republic: 20th March 2020, Prague, Kamýcká 129Slovenia: 16th April 2020, LjubljanaGermany: to be confiirmedAustria: to be confiirmedItaly: to be confiirmed

The European Commission, the EU Japan Regional Cooperation Helpdesk and the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation jointly organise the EU-Japan Clusters and Regions/Prefectures Cooperation Event on 27-29 April 2020 in Strasbourg, France.
The event’s main objective is to support clusters, European regions and Japanese prefectures in their function of networking organisations by fostering the creation of long-term strategic partnerships between European organisations and Japanese partners. Furthermore, by gathering representatives from networking organisations, regions and prefectures, the event is a unique and novel opportunity for clusters to promote business by taking advantage of the recently enforced EU and Japan's Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), the recently signed EU-Japan Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) and the Sustainable Connectivity Partnership. Hence, the event especially welcomes cluster organisations that bring their regional representative with them and have articulated interest in cooperation with Japanese counterparts.

May 14th to 15th 2020.Schladming, Sölktäler Nature Park, Austria
CEETO Interreg Central Europe project is now entering its final phase. For this reason, from May 14th to 15th 2020, the CEETO Final Conference will take place in Schladming, Austria, surrounded by alpine landscapes of the Niedere Tauern, in Sölktäler Nature Park.
During the Conference, we will present the main outcomes of CEETO project and how they can contribute to the further development of sustainable tourism in protected areas. Likewise, we will hear different perspectives on the development of Sustainable Tourism from the hand of international speakers such as Christian Baumgartner, Vice-director of CIPRA and expert in this field.
More information will be soon available at CEETO website, CEETO platform and social media channels. Save the date for the CEETO Final Conference!
Over the last two and half years, 10 project partners from 5 countries in the frame of the Interreg Central Europe project MaGICLandscapes have been intensively researching the functionality of green infrastructure (GI) in the peri-urban and rural context. An integrated network of functioning green spaces is a basic recipe for enhancing the resilience of cities and regions with regard to the effects of climate change, such as extreme weather conditions and biodiversity loss.
The results of the project and the tools developed will be presented at the Final Conference on 27th May 2020 at the Technische Universität Dresden. You are cordially invited to attend this conference. The content will include transnational and regional studies on the spatial analysis of green infrastructure in central Europe, its ecological functionality and its ecosystem services and potential. With reference to 9 case study areas the project partners will demonstrate how selected elements of green infrastructure are effective at the local level and which public benefits they can provide. They will discuss recommendations how existing GI elements can be enhanced and interconnected, and how new green infrastructure can be created.
You are also invited to attend the International Symposium on Green Infrastructure on the following day, 28th May 2020, at the same venue. At this occasion experts from science and practice from all over Europe will meet to reflect on green infrastructure and its services from a variety of perspectives and experiences. The symposium will stimulate identification and discussion of opportunities and challenges for a wider inter-sectoral recognition of the concept of green infrastructure, its benefits and its adoption in policies and planning at the European, national and regional level.
We are looking forward to welcoming You at the conference and at the symposium!
Deadline for registration is the 30th of April 2020.

1-5 June 2020
EU Green Week 2020 will focus on nature and biodiversity. All around the globe, biodiversity is disappearing as a result of unsustainable human activities. This loss is closely connected to climate change, and the combined effect of this unprecedented crisis is disrupting the ecosystems that support life on Earth, with devastating consequences for human well-being and prosperity. While the situation is extremely serious, there is still hope. Solutions exist, but they require deep and transformative changes in the way we produce, consume and trade.
EU Green Week will explore possible pathways for change, and examine how a range of EU policies like the European Green Deal can help protect, restore and sustainably manage nature, leaving it room to recover and thrive. This year’s Green Week will act as a milestone on the path to the COP 15 conference in Kunming, China, in October 2020, where world leaders will adopt a new 10-year action plan for biodiversity – a new global deal for people and nature.
2020 will be a landmark year. EU Green Week 2020 is your opportunity to meet up with people at the heart of the process.
