This comprehensive three-day event will be filled with inspiring keynotes, panel discussions and high-level networking, which will bring together researchers and scholars from Europe and beyond, but also technology leaders, companies, institutions, policy makers and other stakeholders related to the Green Transition sector to discuss important topics leading to a successful implementation of the Green Agenda in the Western Balkan countries.

The key areas of focus are themes connected to the European Commission guidelines for implementing the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, which envisages actions around five pillars, covered also by the European Green Deal: (I) climate action, including decarbonization, energy and mobility (II) circular economy, addressing in particular waste, recycling, sustainable production and efficient use of resources (III) biodiversity, aiming to protect and restore the natural wealth of the region (IV) fighting air, water, and soil pollution and (V) sustainable food systems and rural areas.

Beside the above mentioned five key areas, the focus will be especially spatial planning, as a one of the key implementation instruments, digitalization as a key enabler for these pillars in line with the concept of the dual green and digital transition and inputs and new perspective from young researchers.
