  • SDG Story: Mouscron

    Just halfway towards our goals following the marked route, the AGRI-URBAN Network (URBACT III Programme) held a transnational meeting in the Swedish city of Södertälje from 21 to 24 May 2017. A turning point in the agenda of this project, the meeting focused on the AGRI-URBAN topics linked to the experience of this city and also put the emphasis on shaping the Integrated Action Plans of all partners of the project with the participation of their respective URBACT Local Groups. Watching this video, produced after the visit, you can discover how inspirational was this Swedish city in the project design and later, fostering innovative actions in other partner cities involved in the development of local food systems.

  • RU:RBAN IN THE FACTS! CONFERENCE

    The FACTS! Conference, first  international gathering foreseen within the EFUA Horizon 2020 project, took place online on 29-30 March 2022. The partner Risorse per Roma (municipal agency of Rome), organizer of the conference in collaboration with FAO, hoped to host partners and participants in Rome but monitoring of the Covid-19 situation both in Italy and in the rest of Europe led the organizers to shift to the online format. Over 260 registered participants from all over the world and professional backgrounds (European Commission, international organizations, NGOs, regional and local governments, research centers, universities, agriculture and farming associations, civil society representatives) participated in the conference and followed the contributions of 38 speakers.
