For the 10th and last time during the project’s lifetime the 11 pilot cities and regions will meet for the Mutual Learning event on 13 and 14 March which will this time serve as the very first debriefing of their eco-innovative measures and strategies they were implementing over the last years. 

As the URBAN-WASTE project approaches its end in May this year, Brussels will host the project’s final conference titled “Waste Management in Tourism. Does it even matter?” organised by ACR+, on 7 May 2019 at the Balsamine theatre.

The publication reports on achievements and outreach of the eco-innovative measures which were implemented in the 11 pilot cities and regions over the last year.

This year’s Ecomondo fair in Rimini, Italy, saw a quite significant participation of the URBAN–WASTE project which was present at both “Sustainability evaluation in waste management” seminar and EASME’s info day.

The Municipality of Lisbon will host the upcoming 3rd General Assembly of the URBAN-WASTE project together with numerous side events just before the project enters its very last six months. 

The City of Nicosia  organised an educational event on recycling and waste reduction at tourist facilities last Wednesday 31 October 2018 within the URBAN-WASTE project’s framework.

Few months after its inauguration, the brand new repair and reuse centre for bulky waste in Nice attracts big attention across Europe. A perfect proof is the recent visit they had from Krakow, Porto and Cordoba.

After a long summer which is actually still bringing a lot of tourists to some of our pilot cities and regions the URBAN-WASTE series of webinars is to come back exploring and presenting some good practices and how to communicate them to different target groups – on 20 November at 11.30 CET

The Sicilian city of Syracuse, as one of the project’s pilot cities, had the pleasure to host the 9th Mutual Learning event on “Marketing Measures and Communicating Good Practices to Different Target Groups” and the accompanying Municipality Forum which gathered not only our own pilots but other exemplary cities as well as local attention.

While the implementation phase of eco-innovative measures is in full swing in the project’s 11 pilot cities, the Municipality of Syracuse will welcome the representatives of these 11 cities and regions in order to discuss marketing measures and communicating good practices to different target groups.
