The 3rd work meeting of FIN-URB-ACT took place on 9th and 10th of February 2010 in Edinburgh, UK. Building up on the meetings in Aveiro and Linz, the 3rd conference aimed to foster the exchange among the project partners which put all efforts in developing efficient tools of financial and non-financial consult to support SMEs. The overall topic of the meeting was: "How can cities design a favorable environment, that local banks are more active?"

Similar to the preview meetings the work meeting 3 included a plenary session with high representatives from the European Comission, the regional and local level and two working groups sessions, one on "Support for small scalle projects " and the other one on "Support for innovative/high tech projects". In addition we had parallel working group discussions on local action plans and local support groups. We can say that the meeting itself had the character of a mix of joint discussions and small working groups. Activities on local level were shared in the discussions, problems, good practices and strategies were examined. On the last day there was a steering group meeting on financial aspects, organisational matters and procedures.
