Living-in.EU Digital Assembly 2024 at the European Week of Regions and Cities

During the European Week of Regions and Cities 2024, the Living-in.EU movement will organise its second EU Digital Assembly in Brussels. The event will be on Wednesday 9 October 2024, from 14:30 to 16:00, in the Committee of the Regions (Jacques Delors building). 

Founded in 2019, Living-In.EU aims to promote sustainable digital transformation in cities and communities in the EU. To support this movement, the Go Li.EU project (coordinated by Eurocities, together with ERRIN, EnoLL, OASC, and CEMR) has been selected by the European Commission. It creates a formal governance body which aligns with the principles of multilevel governance, connecting different communities that contribute to the shared mission, vision and strategy.

You can register for the event on the European Week of Regions and Cities website here.

Web streaming should be available for this session and will be communicated at a later stage. 


What is the Living-in.EU Digital Assembly?

The Living-in.EU Digital Assembly is the political advisory body of the Living-in.EU movement. It is co-chaired by Mayor Lluïsa Moret Sabidó, from the City of Sant Boi de Llobregat, and CoR Member Mirja Vehkaperä, Chair of the City Board of Oulu. The assembly meets once per year, and the annual event is the opportunity for all EU mayors, regional presidents, and other stakeholders to debate the political priorities of the movement and to provide strategic orientation in support of the twin green and digital transformation of EU cities and communities. 


An official signatory ceremony was organised  

The event is dedicated to Living-in.EU current and potential signatories. If your city/region/member state is interested in signing the "Join, Boost, Sustain" Declaration, please contact Gabriela Ruseva, project coordinator of Go Li.EU project at gabriela.ruseva@eurocities.eu and Rodolphe Doité, Policy and project Manager at ERRIN at rodolphe.doite@errin.eu.
