Fifth stakeholder group meeting in Ireland

The Irish stakeholder group for RaiSE celebrated the fifth meeting on 26 June 2019 in Dublin. 


Update on the RaiSE Conference, Brussels 

An update on the RaiSE conference was given by Alan Curtis, who noted the very interesting and informative presentations on Action Plans from all Partner Regions and also the good networking among stakeholders from across the regions. He also noted the substantial level of interest in the Clann Credo Good Practice Model from all regions, with one or two regions looking at how they could roll it out in the own areas. Brendan Whelan noted the need for philanthropic funding for a successful roll out of this model. The next operational programme for EU funds was also discussed and it was noted that the programme authors have not been identified as of yet. 

RaiSE Survey

Most people have completed the survey now, but it was agreed to re-circulate to Stakeholders as a reminder.
