Opening Day of the STRONGER International Training Program at Città della Scienza

The first day of the International Training of the European PLUS FORT project opened today, Monday, July 28, 2025, at Ville de la science en Naples, with the participation of partners and stakeholders from various European countries.

The morning began at 10:00 AM with institutional greetings and an introduction of the partners and key actors involved in the project, offering an initial opportunity for networking and discussion among participants.

This was followed by the official presentation of the PLUS FORT project by the coordinator ANI International. The presentation outlined the main objectives of the initiative, the relevant European context, and the actions planned to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of territories through science, technology, and interregional cooperation.

A central part of the program was the session dedicated to the presentation and exchange on the multistakeholder ecosystems developed in the different partner countries. Each delegation shared the experiences implemented at the local level, highlighting tools, methods, and approaches used to foster collaboration among institutions, businesses, research centers, training bodies, and civil society.

This first day represented a valuable opportunity for dialogue and exchange, laying the foundation for the next stages of the training and reinforcing the collaborative and transnational dimension of the PLUS FORT project.
