Join us in Brussels for the EURADA Summer School 2023. During this full-immersion in-person Summer School, experienced speakers and the EURADA secretariat will utilise a comprehensive approach to organisational improvement focusing on the three key areas: Process, Product, and People.
By taking a holistic view of these four areas, regional development agencies' staff and other professionals can identify opportunities for improving and developing strategies to maximise their performance.
The Summer School will consist of a three-day learning programme supported by experience-sharing methods and topic discussion on International Cooperation, Green Transition, Intellectual Property protection, Regional Cohesion policies, Strategic Foresight, internationalisation of local authorities and Regional Development Agencies, Talent attraction and women empowerment in business.
Key Area 1: Process
Vision, policies, strategies, procedures, services... are they all part of and coherent with a well-defined regional strategic plan?
Together we will analyse some of your main assets and values. Make your stakeholders confident with the success of interregional and international cooperation programmes and position yourself at the top range of European regions.

Key Area 2: Product
All about ensuring you have something that’ll turn your regional profit. What is your unique "selling" proposition that’ll make it stand out from other regions in Europe? Industry, products, services, culture, nature, quality, a holistic way of living...
You’ll need to create systems for making your region and business more and more worldwide-oriented, attractive and competitive.
