POCACITO's Max Grünig Speaks at Open Days 2015 [1]

As part of Open Days 2015, POCACITO members including Ecologic Institute's Max Grünig held a workshop on October 13 from 14:30 - 17:00 at the European Commission in the Centre Borschette, Room 0D.

The workshop aimed to highlight how European cities may become emblematic places for attracting jobs and economic activities, transforming them into "innovation hubs" preserving natural resources and limiting environmental damage for the future generations. At the core of this transformation, innovation and sustainable urbanisation stimulate "green, blue, white and pink" growth. These allow us to move towards resource-efficient and more liveable cities enjoying technological, social, marketing and organizational innovations. The purpose of this workshop is to exploit the most recent EU research and innovation initiatives sponsored by the EU Framework Programme.
