European Week of Regions and Cities

BRAIN GAIN – making regions more resilient!

This political lab will explore the challenges related to brain drain, regional depopulation, NEETs and attracting international talent. Together, we aim to illustrate local strategies, concrete and innovative solutions and best practices. This discussion will show how the development of cross-border skills can help grow local businesses and enhance local workforces. All together it will make regions more resilient, sustainable and inclusive when facing common future challenges.
