June 15 kicks off a new series of webinars on a wide range of topics by IUSE in partnership with European Commission and in collaboration with the Guide to Europlanning
Updated October 6, 2022
The format and the schedule of the webinars
he webinar series is structured around two major themes, the NRP funds and the Structural Funds, and the opportunities these funds represent for the Third Sector. The webinars include varied and high-level participation, allowing for a combination of different kinds of insights and reflections:
- Representatives of the EU institutions, who will offer insights and updates on various issues directly from the heart of the European Union;
- Representatives of national and local institutions, who will bring ideas and viewpoints related to the projects and priorities most felt in Italy;
- Representatives of bodies of the Third Sector, universities and research and competence centers, who will enliven the round table discussion with examples, reflections and success stories.
The webinars and the partnership with IUSE thus represent a further enrichment of the Guide’s content.
The schedule of webinars has been adapted to the phase of institutional change, which impacts the availability of speakers and the possibility of in-depth study of topics. The dates of the various sessions are updated and highlighted as they are confirmed by the speakers and organizers.
