The Upper Rhine region will be presenting itself on 13 October in Brussels at the Representation of the State of Baden-Württemberg. This event, which begins at 5 p.m. and continues into the early evening with a networking cocktail, is part of the official programme of the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC) in the category ‘Europe close to you’.
The strategy for Climate and Energy of the Upper Rhine region sets ambitious targets for partner authorities of the cross-border region and identifies strategic projects, bringing together for their implementation relevant stakeholders at local, regional and national level from politics, science and industry. This initiative aims to strengthen the Upper Rhine’s pioneering role in tackling climate change and promoting the use of clean energy.
Representatives from politics, science and business will take part in the panel discussion and present the opportunities and challenges of joint European coordination, as well as some innovative cross-border projects.
