EURE meeting in Lugo

After a long period marked by online meetings and study visits, the EURE project partners finally physically traveled and got together for the project’s latest set of events on 24 and 25 November. The Atlantic Axis of Peninsular Northwest, Lead Partner of the project, hosted them in Lugo, Spain. Two very busy days were in view them since it included the 7th Thematic Seminar entitled “EURE – Urban policy of Spain and Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy”, Study Visits, a Steering Committee Meeting, a Meeting of the Pool of Experts and Joint Meeting.

Lugo is among one of the most active cities in Galicia when it comes to European projects and thus having a great national and international impact such as the “Muramiñae-da Muralla ao Miño” project. Lugo and other cities in Galicia implementing projects under an Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy (EDUSI in Spanish), like A Coruña and Pontevedra, shared their good practices in terms of sustainable urban development with the EURE partners.

Participants also exchanged on how to improve the management of European funds and their financing instruments for the period 2021-2027. Conclusions of the event should be presented to both the Spanish Government and the European Commission.
