About Hub Reunion
In February 2019, the founding meeting of the Danube-Black Sea Macro-Regional Hub was held in Constanța, an initiative of the Association “Local Communities along the Danube River” (CLDR) together with Cluj IT Cluster, which coordinates a group of about 30 clusters from the Balkan area, the Black Sea Basin and the Baltic Region. The mission of the Hub is mainly to generate an important contribution to the innovation of the macro-region through territorial cooperation and the development of transnational projects according to the smart regional sub-specializations of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (SUERD) and the other related strategic documents.
In the context of celebrating, by the Presidency of the EU Council, for the first time, the “European Days for Sustainable Circular Economy” -, thanks to the kind support of the Legal Research Institute „Acad. Andrei Rădulescu” of the Romanian Academy, the Danube-Black Sea Macro-Regional Hub organizes at the Marble Hall of the House of the Romanian Academy, on Friday, October 11, 2019 (9.00-13.00 hours), a special event dedicated to promoting and supporting the business environment, civil society and the academic and research-innovation sector, in order to accelerate the adaptation and transposing in practice of the new EU regulations and trends regarding the Sustainable Circular Economy, with a predilection in the context of the emergence of Smart Sustainable and Inclusive Cities and Smart Villages, as well as establishing the new consolidated partnerships for accessing the Horizon 2020 and COSME programs.
This event takes place within the framework of the already adopted Sustainable Development Strategy of Romania and of the emerging Strategy for Circula Economy, coordinated by the Institute for Research in Circular Economy and Environment “Ernest Lupan” (IRCEM, Cluj Napoca), representing DG Environment – European Commission in Romania.
