1) A first morning session focused on providing basic information on the Horizon Europe program and synergies with local tools and PNRR, how to read a call for tenders and how to approach the preparation of a proposal in the various sections that compose it, bringing various examples and project best practices in the context of smart cities, circular cities and sustainable built environment, Bauhaus, etc;
2) An afternoon session, to make use of what was learned during the first part, organized in parallel groups, aimed at developing the project ideas developed within the Association with respect to a series of high potential tenders.
Many ideas and project ideas emerged during the day which confirmed the vocation of the Genova Smart City Association as a territorial discussion table and incubator of innovative proposals with high potential.
