EGTC Working Group Launch conference

"The Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière, Lead Partner of the EGTC URBACT project (Expertising Governance for Transfrontier Conurbations), is pleased to invite you to the launching conference for the project. It will take place on 19 November 2008 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, at the invitation of the Urban Community of Strasbourg.
The conference aims to bring together about 100 participants from all European borders interested in the governance of cross-border conurbations. It will give participants the opportunity to learn more about the key issues that will be dealt with in this project by the partners: Lille Métropole Urban Community for the Eurométropole Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai, the City of Slubice for the Frankfurt (Oder)/Slubice conurbation, the City of Chaves for the Eurocidade Chaves-Verín, the City of Esztergom for the Ister-Granum EGTC, the Urban Community of Strasbourg for the Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau and the Canton of Basel-Stadt for the Trinational Eurodistrict Basel. This reflection will also involve other cross-border conurbations in Europe. As the first event of a series of seminars, it will focus on exchanging experiences and best practices on the topic of governance of cross-border conurbations in Europe. Read more:
