In order to share the experiences and main outcomes of this time and from all the cities involved, UrbanWINS is holding its final conference on April 4th in Brussels and we gladly invite you to join the event!
Main goal of the conference is to demonstrate how the understanding of the urban metabolism can help cities and towns in the development of eco-innovative waste prevention and management strategies and to showcase results and experiences from the pilot cities, so that other cities, organisations and stakeholders can build upon them.
For more details on the event, find the programme below or visit the website.
If you would like to join, you can register here. Registration is free and open until March 25th.
