Partner Search: resilient ecosystems for circular tourism

10 February, 2022 By Mirthe Vogd

Are you interested in joining a project within the new Single Market Programme (SMP)? The Chamber of Commerce of Umbria, a key stakeholder of Regione Umbria (member region of AER), is looking for partners to join their new project on COVID-19 recovery through sustainable tourism and SME support.

About the project proposal

With reference to the SMP call “COVID-19 Recovery Through Sustainable Tourism Growth and SME Support (SMP-COSME-2021-TOURSME)”, the Chamber of Commerce of Umbria (IT) is leading a proposal on resilient ecosystems for circular tourism.

The general objective of the call is to monitor the sustainability performance of SMEs in the tourism sector, whilst boosting their awareness, development and capacity in the area of sustainable innovations. To this extent, the project aims to ideate, test and improve digital and sustainability solutions at the destination regional level for rural and slow tourism.

They are ideally looking for a Destination Management Organisation (DMO) involved in and dealing with sustainability as applied to the tourism sector from Italy, Spain, Albania, Finland, Poland. Within the scope of this Call, a DMO is defined as a public or private stakeholder/authority that manages a local, regional or national tourism strategy in one of the countries forming part of the consortium.

About the Single Market Programme

The new Single Market Programme (SMP) was adopted on 28 April 2021 and provides an integrated package to support and strengthen the governance and functioning of the single market. The EU funding programme helps the single market reach its full potential and ensure Europe’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indeed, the pandemic showed that the single market is yet to materialise in a number of areas and can improve in others, and that a well-functioning single market is crucial for the resilience of our economy.

How to take part?

If you are interested in joining this project proposal and contributing to its further development, don’t hesitate to contact the AER team by 15 February 2022. We would be happy to liaise you with the Chamber of Commerce of Umbria!

National Recovery & Resilience Plans – Working Together in Renewed Partnership with Regions

17 February, 2021 By Pol Aixas

On 4 March AER will host a debate on the role of regions in overcoming the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) represents a ray of hope for regions as Europe sets out on long road to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.   

However, a recent study conducted by the European Committee of the Regions and the Council of European Municipalities and Regions clearly demonstrates that our cities, regions and municipalities are not being meaningfully included in the member states’ preparation of National Recovery Plans. What can we do to ensure that regions have a greater say in the design and implementation of these recovery plans?

Join us on Thursday, 4 March from 16:00 to 17:30 CET for our online session in association with the Government of Catalonia where we will:

  • Reflect on the role of regions in shaping a resilient and sustainable recovery;
  • Spur debate on how to better involve regions and municipalities in the design and implementation of national recovery plans, and;
  • Provide insights on how regions and municipalities can access the Recovery and Resilience Funds.

This panel debate will bring together regional authorities and EU representatives. The debate will be followed by a more open Q and A session where participants will be able to share their perspectives and glean insights from our panel. Check out the event page to register and view the speakers!
