Location
Devonshire Place
78 London Road Leicester LE2 0RA United KingdomDescription
The One East Midlands and East Midlands Councils ERDF Annual Information Event takes place on Tuesday 24 February at Devonshire Place, Leicester marks the start of a new programme cycle of ERDF funding.
This year’s Annual Information Event will be the largest gathering of the key stakeholders in the region at a crucial time for those managing, delivering, supporting and wanting to find out more.
To ensure that delegates receive optimum capacity building in the time provided, One East Midlands has merged two events into a single comprehensive information day. As a result, you will have the option to attend either or both the morning and afternoon sessions, which focus upon:
AM: Looking back to look forward
PM: Workshops - Lessons Learnt from 2007-2013 Programme
This is a unique opportunity for all stakeholders of the 2007-2013 East Midlands ERDF programme to:
- come together to discover more about the current programme and its impact;
- hear from project leads about the successes and pitfalls they tackled during their project;
- build a greater understanding of the progress towards a live 2014-2020 programme;
- learn specifics on EU programme governance and equalities;
- determine the regional’s economic needs; and
- have the opportunity to begin shaping the future regional focus.
This event will:
- encourage delegates to focus upon a collaborative approach for project development and output activities as emphasised in the new programme;
- increase capacity and skills for the development and delivery of strong regional projects in the region - sharing practical tools, hints and tips through structured networking opportunities and practical workshops;
- increase awareness of achievements and challenges faced from successful ERDF projects in thematic areas of interest; and
- enable engagement with and between the Local Enterprise Partnerships and the Local Growth Team, with the aim of building contacts and networks for the next programme.
