Online training III about support networks on funding opportunities in EU

Online training III: Support networks & funding for digital transformation

Join us for the third and last session of the 3-part webinar series focused on helping local communities harness digitalisation to support sustainable and smart development!

In this session, you will learn how the Living-in.EU community and network can support you in your digital and green transition through knowledge sharing, discovery of EU resources and tools, and exchange with EU peers. Moreover, learning available funding opportunities and how to apply and access them. 

You’ll see short training videos for insights, after which we have time for some discussions and preparing for the next steps.

Each webinar is tailored for local governments and stakeholders looking to build digital capacity, offering practical tools and real-world examples. Don’t miss this opportunity to start shaping your community’s digital future.

Find the previous trainings on digitalisation roadmap, digital twins, LORDIMAS, and more, on Living in EU knowledge base.

Please register by May 13 so we could send you the link to join the webinar. 

These trainings are part of the ‘Increasing Digitalisation Awareness and Readiness of EU
Communities’ initiative, led by the European Commission–DG Connect. Through these
sessions, we aim to provide practical, hands-on guidance to help communities across the
EU accelerate their digital transformation.

FinEst Centre for Smart Cities hosts this hybrid session as a member of the Smart Communities Network: the network of networks endorsed by the European Commission, whose primary goal is to involve all EU local communities in the European green and digital transformation.
