About the ISE Innovation Camp
Now in its third edition, the ISE Innovation Camp takes us to the next stage of transformative innovation, this time in the beautiful city of Olhão, Portugal.
These capacity-building events are designed to connect place-based innovation ecosystems with broader interregional networks, supporting the sustainable development and climate resilience of the Mediterranean. They bring together actors from the four helix of innovation: public sector, academia, industry, and civil society.
The event offers:
-
Facilitated, hands-on sessions to explore tools and frameworks of the ISE Mission.
-
Dynamic exchanges and peer learning among stakeholders.
-
A focus on biodiversity loss, climate adaptation, water management, and circular value chains.
-
A space to test practical tools and foster collaboration.
This is an especially relevant opportunity for:
-
ISE Mission project partners and associates.
-
ISEC Hub members and interested stakeholders.
-
Interreg and cooperation project partners.
-
Mediterranean governance institutions.
-
Regions participating in the EU Preparatory Action “Innovation for place-based transformation”.
