This Seminar aims at increasing and improving the understanding and the operational translation of EU policies and programmes into practical projects and successful economic achievements. It will be followed by a celebration for the EBN 25th anniversary.

On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, EBN is organising academic sessions and a final cocktail reception. The UNDP Eco-innovation and the ESA/ESINET Award ceremonies will close this celebrating event which is open to all.

Development Programme (UNDP) through Innovations for Development and South-South cooperation (IDEASS), have established a cooperation framework aimed at developing innovations and their dissemination, by launching, among other activities, the realization of an international contest open to more than 200 BICs gathered into the EBN.
