As part of its longstanding collaboration with other centres belonging to European networks in the region, Punto Europa actively contributes to the project Europe in Emilia-Romagna, promoted by the Legislative Assembly of the Emilia-Romagna Region with the support of ART-ER.
The project aims to:
Make the region’s strategies and objectives accessible to citizens, linking them to the opportunities offered by European policies and funding programmes;
Provide thematic and territorial stakeholders with essential knowledge about the 2021–2027 programming period of EU funds, both shared and directly managed, as well as resources from Next Generation EU and Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR);
Disseminate this knowledge beyond the circle of specialists, with particular attention to local authorities—including smaller municipalities and those in peripheral areas—and to younger generations;
Gather input and feedback from citizens and stakeholders regarding communication, training, and participation needs, in order to design services that are increasingly effective and responsive to real user demands;
Offer, through a new online portal developed according to the principles of Platform Thinking and with a collaborative approach, information tools, training opportunities, and innovative spaces for active participation.
The Europe in Emilia-Romagna portal was created to collect and share content, opportunities, and insights related to the European Union—from policies to programmes, and from projects to concrete opportunities for participation.
