Each territory has its own specific potential that can help it to compete in the competitive environment of other regions.

During the late spring, the first round of workshops organized within the participatory planning process in order to establish national platforms for territorial attractiveness assessment took place in all partner countries. Possibilities and approaches for assessing the attractiveness of the Danube region were discussed and many indicators for assessing the attractiveness of the territory were proposed.

Now comes the time for the second round of the workshops where these results will be evaluated and used for next steps in the process of establishing the national platforms for assessing the territorial attractiveness of the Danube region.

All representatives of the public administration, academia, non-governmental organizations and the private sector are welcomed. The workshop will take place on 21 September 2017 from 10:00 to 14:30 in Evropský dům (Jungmannova 745/24, Praha 1).
