Launch of the Community of Practice on Cities in Brussels
On October 5 the Community of Practice on Cities will be officially launched in Brussels!
Acknowledging the increasing centrality of the urban dimension, the Knowledge Centre for Territorial Policies now fosters a Community of Practice on Cities (CoP-CITIES) that will address specific challenges and features of cities and urban systems, while promoting the adoption of a territorial point of view.
The mission of the COP-CITIES is to tap the potential of an extended pool of expertise to improve information sharing and enhance collaboration among stakeholders, including EU citizens.
At the kick-off event the CoP-CITIES will be officially launched, other EC services will be invited to join, and its next steps and future developments will be discussed.
Discover the activities of the Knowledge Centre for Territorial Policies in a dedicated session next 26th September in Seville
The KC TP organises a dedicated session preceding the 2018 SMARTER Conference on the morning of the 26th of September in Seville, Spain. The KC TP is set up to strengthen the Commission’s overall support to territorial development and aims to be the point of reference for Commission services and Member States on territorial and regional related issues. In this capacity, it not only provides a repository of relevant research and new initiatives, but it also serves as a place for analytical and networking activities. The main objective of this associated event is to get participants (better) acquainted with the KC TP. The dedicated session should provide participants with a fundamental understanding of what the KC TP is and what it does. Next to a general understanding, the specific services that are now part of the KC TP will be elaborated upon so that afterwards participants will be able to use or refer to them in (at least)a rudimentary way.
