EcoDaLLi tailored local and regional Danube stakeholders workshops
The EU-funded Horizon Europe EcoDaLLi Project tailored stakeholder workshops have taken place in on-site, hybrid and online formats, targeting local and regional actors from Upper, Middle, Lower and Delta Danube regions and Black Sea area, to discuss on the important topic that this project focuses on: to centralise Danube governance structures in terms of innovative solutions for improved ecological restoration, protection and preservation of the Danube basin, Danube Delta and Black Sea region. These workshops brought together stakeholders from business, academia, governance and civil society. Splitted in 3 working groups on each session, divided by the Mission Ocean main topics:
• Ecosystem Restoration for increased Biodiversity and Resilience
