We are thrilled to announce that next week the entire consortium is gathering for the first time for a three-day event in Haarlem (The Netherland). The 3 day-program aims to stimulate personal interaction between consortium members that was missed during the first year of Cities2030, partially because of the distance between our regions and esacerbate by the COVID-19 pandemic. This gathering is designed to build professional working relations and expand and strengthen networks across CRFS and external partners. The program will cover the General Assembly (day 1), the Lab Festival (day 2) and a tour of the Haarlem Policy Lab (day 3).
