On 2nd November 2018 the second Made in Danube Policy Dialogue workshop took place in Bucharest. The workshop was held within the Romanian Presidency of the EUSDR and provided a further opportunity for Priorities Areas relevant stakeholders, public authorities, key experts, enterpreneurs, etc. to meet, exchange information on present and planned activities so as to learn from each other and pave the way for possible synergies and cooperation opportunities.
Project partner Ioana Spanache, UEFISCDI contributed with an outlook on project results by ResInfra@DR.

The Romanian Ministry of Research and Innovation, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (national coordinator for the EUSDR) and benefiting from the direct contribution and support of Zentrum for Social Innovation - ZSI (Austria) and Steinbeis Europa Zentrum - SEZ (Germany), organized within the implementation of the Made in Danube project a policy dialogue workshop as an opportunity for cross-fertilization and fruitful dialogue between the following Danube Strategy Priority Areas: PA2 (Sustainable Energy), PA4 (Water Quality), PA6 (BioDiversity and Landscapes), PA7 (Knowledge Society), PA8 (Competitiveness of Enterprises) and PA9 (People and Skills). The event also contributed to the debate on key challenges, needs and requirements for developing a bio-economy concept for the region while also contributing to the creation of a common understanding of the “Innovation and Technology Transfer priorities” and thus supporting long-lasting transnational collaboration in bio-economy in the Danube Region (the workshop continued and complemented the debate started at the previous workshop within the framework of the “Made in Danube” project, organized by the Croatian Ministry of Regional Development and EU funds and the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Crafts in Zagreb on 26th September 2018).
