📣 Join Us Tomorrow for an Insightful EU Clusters Talks! #Cluster #Community I am excited to invite you to join us for a special session of the #EUClustersTalks tomorrow, May 15th, from 8:30 to 9:45 CET. As the CEO of AgriFood Lithuania and Vice-President of European Clusters Alliance, I had an honor of participating in the recent #EUClusterConference 2024, which was filled with rich discussions on the pivotal roles of clusters in advancing the EU's industrial ambitions. The talk, entitled "Green, digital, and resilient through clusters: Takeaways from the European Cluster Conference," is designed to reflect on the valuable insights and strategies shared at the conference. We will delve into the key themes of the Green Transition, Digital Transition, and Resilience Building, which are crucial for our future. Event Details: When: May 15, 2024 | 8:30 - 9:45 CET This session is a fantastic opportunity for all of us in the cluster community to engage directly with the outcomes of the European Cluster Conference and explore how we can implement the European vision on the ground. We'll discuss how our collaborative efforts can significantly contribute to the EU's transition pathways and influence the future of our single market. 📣 Please note: Registration is required before May 15, 7:30 CET, and the session is open to participants from the EU and SMP/COSME countries. 🙌 Your participation will undoubtedly enrich our discussions, and I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.

Free seminar alert: "How to effectively engage actors in transitions for sustainable impact?" A Symposium on Action Research in Food Systems Next October 15th, along with Flanders Business School - FBS and Sytra - UCLouvain, we are inviting you to reflect on the use of system, target and transformation knowledge in participative approach that is more and more considered as fundamental in transition. Some of our key questions : 🤓 What are your best practices in system, target and transformation knowledge use and production? What are the necessary conditions to progress, in a participative way, on those different knowledges? 👥 Which actors should be involved in such processes in terms of representation, personality, differences in worldviews, level of responsibility, etc.? Should only forerunners be involved or a larger set of stakeholders? 🤸♀️ What ambitions can be set and what processes can be used with groups of heterogenous composition? How can decisions be made? 👂 How to make sure that all voices are heard, also of those not present? 🧐 What roles can/should the researchers play in these processes in terms of convening and facilitation? 🤲 How to build trust and a sense of community? How to make sure that the community continues after the end of the project? If any of your experience or research tackles those aspects please join us! Abstracts welcomed until 15th September! (Very soon, hope to see you there) The event will take place in Antwerp in the Flanders Business School - FBS buildings. https://lnkd.in/er23QVyc
