The ENRD Contact Point hosted a European Seminar on ‘Changing our Mindsets - Seizing opportunities in the Green Economy’ on 1 July 2016 in Brussels.
The Seminar is part of ENRD work on ‘Promoting the Transition to a Green Economy’ where the main aim is to share experiences and examples, and to generate concrete proposals for ensuring that the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) support rural stakeholders to benefit fully from all the opportunities that a Green Economy can bring.
The event brought together national and regional Managing Authorities (MAs) and other stakeholders concerned with the implementation of RDPs to prioritise actions that can promote the transition to a Green Economy.
Event venue: Berlaymont Building, Brussels
