Come see us in the forum on the EU Urban Agenda on 30 May 2016 - Amsterdam
Edited on
01 June 2016The European Committee of the Regions is organising a Forum on the EU Urban Agenda in the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam on Monday 30 May 2016, back to back to the informal meeting of ministers of the EU Member States.
The event will be organized together with the Association of Netherlands Municipalities, the Association of the Provinces of the Netherlands, the City of Amsterdam and the Province of Noord-Holland.
The new EU Urban Agenda should improve the quality of life in urban areas but also the EU governance. It is about new working methods.
In this light, the EU Urban Agenda is intended to provide an operational framework and effective instruments to horizontally improve the urban dimension in European policymaking. It also includes opportunities to exchange knowledge and best practices, research and cooperation.
URBACT will contribute to the discussions and hold a stand in the networking area. We will present our activities and our URBACT on-going Call for Implementation Networks.
The networking area is aimed to share with participants concrete stories, projects and relevant activities (e.g. EU funding opportunities for EU cities in the urban areas, thematic initiatives, projects funded by EU structural funds, case studies and success stories from cities across Europe) of a selected number of partners, such as:
- URBACT, Dutch partners of the event (City of Amsterdam and Province of Noord-Holland), the main European associations of cities (Eurocities, CEMR), other EU institutions and EU offices (EC- DG Regio, Interreg Europe, Urban Innovative Action, Covenant of Mayors office) and some thematic networks involved in the workshops (e.g. European Network of Living Labs, EUniverCities, European cities of social innovation).
