On 12 and 13 June 2024, at THE EGG, the seven strategies (Alpine, Danube, Adriatic-Ionian, Baltic Sea, Atlantic, Western Mediterranean and Black Sea) will encounter each other’s during a two-day event in Brussels. The event will serve as a communication and networking platform, enhancing coordination among participating countries, pillars coordinators, stakeholders, presidencies and representatives of the EU institutions.

Following the slogan #Strategies4cooperation, the event will focus on different thematic, all of them relevant to the seven strategies, with the main aim of exchanging knowledge, creating new synergies and reinforcing old ones.
