Everything summarized in 1 minute? Watch the aftermovie!
3 inspiring visits
Site visits are a valuable aspect of the interregional visits. In West Flanders, our partners visited 3 local examples of cross-sectoral innovation. Drone Dock provides a space for students to experiment with drone technology. Howest University of applied sciences started a new study trajectory focussed on cyber security. And House of AI introduces artificial intelligence to diverse audiences in a fun and interactive way.

Coming up: meeting in Olsztyn (Poland)
The third interregional meeting will be hosted by our Polish partners of the WMRDA. On 21 and 22 April, they will host us in Olsztyn. An important part of their local economy is based on nature- and health tourism. One of the site visits will therefore lead us to a newly established health resort. The programme also includes a visit to the local university, the next workshop on strategic foresight and a new understanding of Warmia-Mazury as a region.
