In early September, European Impact organised the first meeting of a Community of Practice with four municipalities and one province on European awareness within their organisations. This Community of Practice aims to jointly develop solutions to make the municipal organisation more aware and skilled in European affairs.
Why is this important? Many tasks of municipalities and regions can be supported by European cooperation. Municipalities and provinces can apply for European funds. But equally important is the exchange of knowledge between cities, influencing European Commission policy and putting your city or region on the map.
This Community of Practice is an excellent way for the European Impact Hub, in cooperation with partners in practice, to build a bridge between applied research and education at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
