The second EU GREEN Conference of the Parties (COP2) will take place at the University of Gävle on December 3, bringing together representatives from universities, municipalities, regions and partner organisations to strengthen cooperation around shared sustainability challenges. Building on the relationships established across the Alliance and its regional ecosystems, COP2 will provide a space to exchange experiences, identify opportunities for collaboration and explore how universities and regional partners can turn common ambitions into joint action.
Under the approach “From Good Practice to New Partnerships,” the conference will focus on successful examples of collaboration from across the EU GREEN Alliance and consider how these experiences can inspire new initiatives in different regional contexts. The programme will open with perspectives on sustainable cities and citizen participation in the climate transition, followed by the presentation of good practice examples demonstrating different forms of cooperation within the Alliance.
A central part of COP2 will be dedicated to co-creation workshops, where participants will work together to explore how successful approaches can be adapted, transferred or further developed. Through these collaborative sessions, the conference aims to move beyond the exchange of experiences and create opportunities for new partnerships and joint initiatives involving universities and their regional stakeholders.
COP2 reflects EU GREEN’s commitment to connecting universities more closely with the territories and communities around them. By bringing academic institutions together with municipalities, regions and partner organisations, the conference will provide a collaborative environment for developing relationships and exploring new ways of working together towards more sustainable European regions.
