In Person
Location: Dessau-Roßlau, Germany
Date: 11.03.2026 - 12.03.2026
By: NiCE
The NiCE Consortium invites to the final conference of the EU project “NiCE” on 11 and 12 March, 2026, at the UBA headquarters in Dessau-Roßlau. Together with cities, regions, networks, NGOs, and initiatives, we want to discuss ways to promote sustainable consumption structures in city centers.

From May 2023 to April 2026, project partners⁠ have been working at the EU-funded project “NiCE – from niche to centre.” The project focuses on promoting circular lifestyles and sustainable consumption structures in city centers. All 9 partners from across Europe together researched, collected best practices, conducted pilot projects in cities, and developed recommendations for action.

The expert conference serves to:

  • provide practical knowledge transfer and application of results from NiCE and other UBA work,
  • inspire through good examples to promote circular lifestyles in cities,
  • facilitate networking among urban development actors to initiate follow-up projects,
  • actively involve participants by giving them opportunities to contribute and present their own projects/results.

The event primarily targets actors working locally in cities to promote sustainable consumption structures. This includes cities, regions, their networks, political decision-makers, NGOs, and initiatives active in this field, as well as representatives of national and regional authorities and EU experts.

Information about the programme and registration will follow soon.
