R4R activities and agenda:

12-02-2008 Transferability Workshops and Partners meeting
During three days, starting 12 February, stakeholders from the partner regions of R4R will meet in ´sHertogenbosch, The Netherlands. The purpose is to continue the match-making process during which partners have chosen best practices, or some aspects of them that they would like to transfer to their own region. This meeting will be a further step in the process and a first chance for representatives from giving and receiving regions to meet each other. Some project observers will also participate in the workshops.

R4R develops programme for observers

In the past few months R4R have been developing an active personal contact policy. As an outcome many regional representatives have shown their interest in learning more about R4R and having some framework of cooperation with the project. The result of this has been the creation of a category called Observers, regional bodies towards which the project will have a special relationship in terms of bidirectional information sharing. If you would like to know more about the R4R Observers` Programme please contact the R4R secretariat.
