May you live in interesting times – says a popular saying. There is no doubt that we live in a hectic, turbulent environment where individuals as well as countries face many challenges. To address them, we all need opportunities where we can meet and share one’s perspectives and points of view. UBC General Conferences are widely known as agoras for insightful debates that pave the way for future actions and bold initiatives. We firmly believe that this is our contribution to a bright future for the Baltic Sea region.
As the European Union embarks on a new financial programming period, cities are uniquely positioned to influence and benefit from EU policies. This conference will focus on strengthening the role of cities in the EU, ensuring their priorities influence policy and funding decisions. The agenda will address navigating new EU financial frameworks, enhancing advocacy, maximizing funding opportunities, building policy engagement capacities, fostering inter-city cooperation, and maintaining urban issues on the EU agenda.
Our Conference will also be a forum for debates, sharing knowledge and experiences in many other vital topics, such as: green deal, decarbonization, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and youth involvement.
We would like to heartily invite you to join us in the beautiful city of Słupsk and exchange your thoughts and ideas during the General Conference.
