Macedonian Institute for Integration is co-organizer of the high level conference "First gathering of the Reform Leaders from the Western Balkan regions and Experts on the EU Project Funding (GOR)" on 31st May and 01st June in Brussels.
Without doubt, Western Balkan region is facing a challenging period in it's quest to join the European Union. The implementation of a regional and cross sector projects co-financed by the EU is subject to procedures, rules and obligations which are generally poorly known by the potential beneficiaries in the Western Balkans. In order to encourage momentum, raise confidence and advance quality of the results it is crucial to encourage cross-sector collaboration, introduce advanced project design and quality assurance methodologies and support synergy of the reform initiatives.
The goal of the conference is to provide immediate and effective support to Western Balkan (WB) reform leaders who are working at the forefront of development and reform to build up their capacities and expand perspectives for successful initiation, preparation and application for projects under EU umbrella. Conference program will focus on the issues considered of high priority for Western Balkan beneficiaries such as institution building, regional development, environment, energy, tourism, SMEs, research and innovation, cross-border cooperation and cross-cultural cooperation.
